Most of the people in this thread are more concerned about pointing fingers ("oh my god...look at this video of bill clinton" blabla) than about the dead US soldiers and the thousands of dead Iraqi people.

Fact is, the majority if Democrats voted against the invasion. The majority of Republicans voted for the invasion. Only 7 (!!!) Republicans voted against it. The people who voted for it, should apologize and you guys should be ashamed.

My Son participated in the Iraq War, yet neither he nor I think it was the wrong thing to do - even today.

I believe Iraq is better off without Saddam and that it's great for the Iraqi people to be masters of their own destiny.

I firmly believe that Saddam had stockpiles which were moved to Syria in the Months leading up to the war. There is a fair amount of evidence that's true.

The Iraq Survey Group's final report stated that what they did find was even more disturbing than finding the actual weapons. 300 tons of yellowcake was found and removed to Canada. Small stocks were indeed found. One large terrorist training camp was uncovered. And they found that Saddam's strategy was to wait until the sanctions were lifted (somehting France was pushing hard for at the time) to take his programs out of mothballs.

Anyways, I said whoever voted for it, should apologize whether Democrat or Republican.

What does Osama have to do with Iraq? Open a new thread, and don't hijack this one.
Because if you were educated on this topic you would know that during the clinton administration there were those Hillary, Bill and others that connected them together maybe some reading is in order instead of listening to the bias liberal msm's.
You would also know that all of this with the war started before Bush took office If you watched the video I posted about Bill Clinton he states some very irrefutable facts in there that he is not being held accountable for infact those same dems have gotten amnesia over the whole thing.

Are you not doing some finger pointing with the dems voted against it and the rep voted for?
I'm stating a fact. I couldn't care less about Democrats vs. Republicans. As I said everyone who voted for the Iraq war and supported it (like Tony Blair) should be held responsible, don't you agree?

When it comes to foreign policies, I agree with Ron Paul and his views.

I don't even know what that is. I don't live in the US. Im done with you. I just stop talking to people that make baseless claims like you just did.

I think you are trying to rewrite history. Its an easy thing to find out which politicians voted for the war and then blame these (regardless of their party, that includes the Democrats that voted for the war).

Furthermore, while we are speaking of aplogies, I believe Babs Walters should apolgize for subjecting people to her combined screeching/lisp for all these decades. It certainly has not been easy, or music to my ears.

Send your son to North Korea and all the other countries that have cruel dictators. Some of the countries actually have WMD.

Interesting that you are trying to interject from another country and you dont even know the topic
Baseless claims have no evidence I have presented videos that are in their own words I cannot help it if some cannot understand what they are saying in the videos or how they pertain to the topic of discussion

Surely this so called highly intellectual and all knowing crew would not have voted in favor of such an acutely barbaric political decision as this !!! What ? ... Say It Ain't So Joe !

Some of our good ole "Looney Lib" buddies do have an irksome tendency to sort of overlook little insignifigant items like this ... do they not ?

Of course all that good tasting "Kool Aid" has most of these good folks absolutely believing that it's all old Geroge Bush's fault ... Yes that must be it !

It's all G. Bushes fault !!!!!!! No way around it !

This is a baseless claim: instead of listening to the bias liberal msm's.


Did the majority of Democrats vote for the war in Iraq or not?Bill Clinton is not the topic of the thread. You were trying to hijack it.
What is wrong about holding the ones responsible that voted for the war? In the end, these people are the ones that are responsible for it. No one forced them to vote the invasion in Iraq.
