No, no there Sagran,they were not just trusting in Bush and mislead them.They voted for the war when it was popular and when voters started to rethink the war they all all of sudden changed their mind.They don't get a free pass.They are just as guilty.What is sad is the dems can't think for themselves they have to take opinion polls before they make a decision.They all 29 are either 100% flip floppers or 100% full of sheet.Hillary Clinton was more vocal than Bush for the resolution

I never remember Bush/Cheney claiming any link between Saddam and 9/11. so I have no clue why it is an "interesting observation" to you.

No, Cheney was never stupid enough to "claim" that Saddam was responsible but the Cheney/Bush administration implied in every way possible that he was......that was their excuse for invading Iraq....the planning of which started LOOOOONNNNGGG before 9/11....they just needed the flimsiest of excuses and ran with it.

On top of all this he was paying the $25,000 to hamas suicide bombers family members for years.He did fund terrorists.There was also talk that he could have very well moved wmd's into Syria,he had ample time.He needed to be taken out no doubt

No doubt it is tragic that we are fighting Al Queda in Afghanistan and they are using our weapons to kill us.My point is that Saddam did in fact fund terrorist.He himself is a terrorist by his funding of Hamas.Like I said he did need to go

It is hardly mind reading,he had already attacked the WTC once,he was president and your telling me he did not know it was coming.If you were to read before you talk you would see I said I had mixed feelings about the war.Although I am very glad Saddam and his sons are dead
You post you have mixed feelings about the war but thought Saddam had to go and are happy he is gone. Then you snark at me about liberals making things up be. I was hardly making things up, more like connecting the dots.

We knew they existed because WE SOLD THEM TO SADDAM.

On one thing we have no disagreement. The Dems had and have no balls. However, the "intelligence" was cooked to support a Bush administration agenda and fed to all. Some few spit it out, but most ate it. With so many in the public and the media swallowing it all, it would have taken real courage to stand up and try to lead in another direction. Where there was the intelligence to know that's what should have been done, there was no courage. Not in the Democratic Party and certainly not in the Republican Party. And that famously "liberal" media was just as culpable because they were the ones with the spoons in their hands feeding the public.

Oh please. Quit twisiting things around to suit your right wing agenda.

I said "They didn't find any." You quoted it, didn't you understand what that means? It means they didn't find any. I don't know how much more simple I can make it. It does not mean those weapons never existed.

What is it with you people? Can't you understand even the most simple sentences? Or do you think everyone is as ill informed as you are?
