Yeah.... that's why we have a Congress.

Though, considering the actions of our current President, seems as though libruls have forgotten about Congress.

I think the real reason we invaded Iraq was they had the final piece to the dreaded hurricane machine. Bush cut a deal to have Sadaam manufacture it and he decided not to turn it over because he was gonna sell it to China so they could blast Japan with Cyclones. Well we fixed him and Bush got the piece to the hurricane machine and the rest is history. He pulled the dreaded lever when he went on a trip to Africa and fired off Katrina to no big fanfare, of course he wasn't as transparent as Obama don't ya know, and his master plan was put in play to kill all the black folk just like Kanye West called it. AFter all Kanye was in the CIA so he knew all about the dreaded hurricane machine.

I think Kanye West was a member of the elite baby seals. Then when he finished his tour he became a drug mule for Shug Knight and Tupac. The rest is history as they say.

Couple of flies in this steaming pile of made up 'ointment:'

In the first place Dick Cheney had been the architect of the decision not to go into Iraq after booting Saddam out of Kuwait in Desert Storm. Others had wanted to 'finish the job' but Cheney said no. He had figured that Saddam Hussein would be taken care of by Iraqis themselves, and that Saddam would not last long after Desert Storm. He considered that way of solving the problem much preferable. By 2002 he had decided that he had been wrong about that. This just does not comport with the Cheney portrayed in the fiction video. Here is the real Cheney in 1994:



Cheney '94: Invading Baghdad Would Create Quagmire - YouTube

Secondly, Colin Powell's portrayal is hideously inaccurate. One of the best books out there on the Iraq war is 'Cobra II: The inside story of the invasion and occupation of Iraq.' Authors are NYT reporter M. Gordon, and Gen. B. Trainor. According to this book:

Quote:

"Powell and I did not object to the prospect of taking out Saddam Hussein, but we had real questions about the timing," [Richard] Armitage recalled...The thinking I had in mind was January 2005.--win the election, and then that would be a good time to begin the attack."
(p. 82).

It's funny that over in the other section, lefties are taking Gingrich to task over a statement about having judges arrested. Gingrich fascist, extremist, etc. etc. Here in this section, after watching a fictionalized movie, the lefties want W. Bush 'hung by the neck' for 'war crimes'

Here's the deal with Iraq. We got into a war with them when they invaded Kuwait. We never ended it. The first Bush or Clinton ended the war. Bush II using force was nothing more than a continuation on the origianl Bush/Clinton policies. And Obama just continued the Bush/Clinton/Bush war.

Lefties want Bush and Cheney arrested for "war crimes". LOLs. Bill Clinton invaded Serbia after Congress specifically told him not to. Obama invades Libya, becoming the first President to ever invade a foreign country wiithout asking for Congressional approval as required. If anyone ever committed a war crime it was done in Serbia and Libya.

Democrats were all for Bush fighting in Iraq. After a while they realized it was Republicans controlling the war and deciding what private sector companies were making money off it. (Dems thought they were gonna get to throw some money at their buddies too). Once they realized they were cut out of the money they decided that Iraq was wrong. Anyone thinks differently is just plain ignorant.

Of course, we will never hear about that....................
I agree with your context, but if you are going to debate it, you should be accurate, it was not the black panthers, it was the new black panthers, which is an entirely different organization.
