Like I said. Plenty of ammunition. Read up. Maybe one day you'll realize what a herd of sheep you folks have really become.
You read up.

Did that sound stupid to you? OK, because it sounded stupid to me too. I have read up. Just because I don't agree with you doesn't mean I haven't read up. What a dumb thing to say to someone.

I have encountered people here before who didn't have their facts straight and wouldn't let me correct them, but I'm not one of them.

I have read up. I'm gonna be as arrogant as you just were and assume you haven't.

You're not rude but what did I miss read. You are speaking for the families in the post below are you not. I don't feel that way nor do any of the families I know that lost loved ones. If I misunderstood your post I am sorry but that is how it sounded to me.

And as for congress approving the war, Bush fooled almost everyone. Lets not forget his words of "Your either with us or your with the terrorists". With most of the country fooled, going against it was like political suicide so many withheld their common sense for politics.
Well they seem to love the man. Sadly there is a chance that the military is going to be put in harms way. They know that going in.

Oh enough of that Bush fooled people. The democrats before Bush said it other countries said there were wmds. Enough of this it was just Bush lying making things up. There is many quotes from Bill Clinton, Hillary, Pelosi all before Bush became president saying Iraq had wmds

I respect Bush for staying out of politics.

Too bad he didn't make that choice about 10 years ago.

If this is your proof that you've read up, then you flunk the test. There's no way you could harbor this view and be educated on geopolitical affairs dating back to the 1970's. Unless, of course, you're an intentionally obtuse person. I don't rule anything out.

Im sorry, but you cant fake this. You cant fake George W. Bush's view and respect for our military. With Barry, it has the feel of a publicity stunt for photo ops. You dont get that realness feeling to it.

While I disagree with some of Bush's ideology and actions, he earned a lot of respect from me for his love for the military servicemen.

God bless George W. Bush and I have to give it to him for letting Barry do his thing and not getting involved. A president has enough fire coming from all directions usually that they dont need an ex-prez to chime in. Though Barry has only recently really started to get much heat from the media but thats a different story.

George and his wife have been very classy. I think they are wrong on some things politically, but they are classy.

Obama will NEVER get that type of response from our troops once his term in over with in 2012 and the libs know it. Maybe, that is why all the hate? Hot dang, looks like my boy Daryl "The Moose" Johnson was in the background(white shirt) Go US Troops and Go Cowboys!

No one is saying there wasnt faulty intelligence, but to come up with this baseless "lie" nonsense is ridiculous. Out of all of those who HATED Bush, all the media that HATED Bush, if there was evidence of this "lie" itd be out there and he'd face charges. There was no lie.

Like I said Congress voted for this. Many on both sides of the aisle thought war was the right thing to do at the time, based on the evidence THEY saw.
It was those anthrax letters what done it.

Works every time.

It is fact in my eyes and many of the other families I know

Also, you have some nerve speaking for ALL military families, when you are just one person. Do you have anything to contribute other than eye-rolling animations?
I NEVER said all, show me where I said all. And don't talk to me about nerve when you have people on here that have never lost anyone speaking for the families. Go b!itch at them for assuming they know how we feel, cause you're not selling that crap here. K!

Oh and here I will help you this is every post I made on this thread show me where I said ALL.

Why not? He faked being President.

ALL POLITICS IS PHOTO OPS right down to Bush's plastic Turkey in Iraq!

Ya, must be why he was so gung-ho about serving:ro lleyes:
"Classy " isn't starting unnecessary wars.

"Classy" isn't making fun of soldiers looking for WMDs.

"Classy" isn't referring to his base as the "Haves and Have Mores".
