Just stop Seabass, you're embarrassing yourself.

No one else can ever explain how that list vindicates Bush either.

Never a big Iraq war fan even as a conservative.

But liberals those who say we spent 2 trillion on the wat with not much to show for it. We also have liberals saying we have one of the worst health care systems in the modern world. We got posters saying the USA ranks dead last among 11 civilized countries in health care.

And yet we spend 700 billion PER YEAR and that number is growing on just mediacare which only covers 15% of the population.

So what's worst? Having a revolving social program that ranks dead last in health care or having a war that eventually ended?

NO ONE voted to go in. Gomer was given the authority as a means to force Saddam to allow the UN weapons inspectors into Iraq and it worked. One man made the decision to invade. Those with measurable IQ`s understand this.

Actually, that's my idea of you swallowing rhetoric without applying any critical thought. "Bush lied, kids died" was a political slogan, not an expression of verified truth.

The problem with that is that would require actual evidence. Something you don't have.
The question of whether or not Iraq had weapons of mass destruction is a stupid one.

It presumes that no one else does.

People are really stupid.

Probably the reason she is not the President today, and one of many reasons why she should never be.

That Hillary Clinton is an amoral, contemptible neocon sow does not excuse Bush and his crew.

Baghdad has been a major center of civilization since the 8th Century. What does the fact that it was under a dictator have to do with the price of kebab?

Ya whats worst, trying to find a way to help elderlyAmericans having access to healthcare and trying to make it affordable or having 4500 americans dead and hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's and destabilizing the middle east.

One is trying to make peoples lives better while the other destroys and ruins..........

ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?!?!?!

Plus, lets not forget the legacy costs that we will have to deal with due to the wars in the middle east...ie the medical care and benefits needed to support the troops coming back. Oh and of course, as history has always shown us.....these wars will come back to bite us and now we are in even more danger of being attacked than ever before.



But yes. Yes war is definitely better than providing health care!!!!!!!!!!
