How does Slobama justify it? We're still there in spite of his promises. How does he justify Gitmo? We're still there in spite of his promises.
Lets hear it, libs. Starting with the OP.

what a lying bag of crap he turned out to be,

Bush's war ?
not hardly.
Iraq is 110% barry obama's war...
You're one of those "low information" voters whom the Republic party relies on to win elections. Obama promised to double down on Afghanistan and get us out of Iraq. On Dec. 31, 2011, we're going to be out of Iraq.

Bush did everything right in going about it constitutionally. Can the same be said of Obama and Libya?

But you omit the fact that Bush lied. And all the intelligence, all the dire claims of WMD, all the intimation that Saddam was allied with al Qaeda took place over a year long time frame, daily, until it came up for a vote in October of 2002.

So everyone who voted for this resolution did so on the falsified claims made by the Bush Administration. Had they of not been misled they would likely not have given him authorization to go to war.

The invasion of Iraq cannot be justified. GW Bush and company should be charged as war criminals.

President Obama is as much a victim of GW Bush as the rest of America is.

Not Bush's war.

Congress voted for it. The people overwhelmingly wanted retribution.

The intelligence pointed there.

Why are you guys constantly bringing this up? Do we not have enough problems today for you that you need to rehash old controversies?

Whether its Iraq;afganistan or Libya its all the same.Iraq eassiest as Saddma did not liveup to terms of ceasefirde after dessert storm;Afganistan habor terroist trasning that were responsibl;e for 9-11 and numberous other terrorist bombing. Libya is pure regime change in support of the so called rebels.Libya has not been part of any terrorist attcks since Pan AM and even Britain relased the convicted terrorist on that.There may be other reasons as I do not get national secirity briefings.

Some of us do not justify it and recognize it as an illegal war of aggression. But most people don't view it in such terms. Since many conservatives justify this war, I'm wondering your rationale.
Because we can
