They should take Obama's while they are at it. The Nobel Peace Prize winnder is allowing Iran to secure the bomb and strengthens an evil nation. Thanks Bammer!

Yes, he is failing so far with his Iran policy. He is still doing better than Bush though. You know Iran agreed to halt its WMD program and stop funding terrorism in 2003 if Bush agreed to talk with them. In his arrogance he refused the offer. So Bush also allowed Iran to secure the bomb.

Joe, where did you get the "quote" from on your OP because it sure in the hell didnt come from the story?

Any policy is better than Bush's "lets invade everyone that I don't like," policy. Except for Hitler's, "lets invade everyone that I don't like," policy.

Well our Congress agreed as they sanctioned the Iraq invasion.
We don't have dictators yet in this country that can declare war on their own.

Bush and his cronies mislead congress. They cherry picked information to make it look like Iraq was developing WMDs. I know you have been told this before, and know its correct, but you keep bringing up congress. By your logic the President is never responsible for anything, only congress, in regards to Bush. Nothing was Bush's fault only Congress. Of course this, "its Congress's fault, "logic is only implied for Presidents of a certain affiliation (R) and not implied for anyone else.

I will admit that I think that the republican controlled Congress in 2003 did chicken out. Sure they were mislead by Bush, but some of them had to have known it was BS. It was just at the time there was a surge of patriotism, which Bush exploited, to make it look like anyone who didn't support his agenda was unpatriotic. With the information most people had back then they would have voted anyone who didn't support the war out of office. Now that everyone knows it was all a bunch of Bush*t things would have been different and the war would have never happened. But that is now and we didn't know what we knew now then.

Isnt that precious, someone who mislead this thread by quoting the following which doesnt exist on the link provided.

Following Bush's lead Iranian authorities confiscated Nobel Peace laureate Shirin Ebadi's medal, the human rights lawyer said Thursday, in a sign of the increasingly drastic steps Tehran is taking against any dissent.

Thats not at all what was claimed. What was claimed is that Iraq HAD WMD's, which we all knew they did. America gave them to Iraq..

Congress and the President relies on information which is GIVEN to them. Unless you think Bush was out doing co-op CIA research prior to his presidency. We all know he isnt that smart..

Shame for you because Democrats overwelmingly supported Bush, even Hillary Clinton. You do know who she is right?
