Well E.T. says its fortune...and you say its glory......hmmmm...
Well Freedom.....your theory of Bush's quest for glory....it still relies on Bush misrepresenting the pre-war information, as well as misleading the entire country...to get his glory war started...does it not??

Partially, Badmutha.....and I also think they did. Fear is a great motivator....and they used it well

Are you going to tell me Bush thought no one would ever review or validate his justifications at some point? I mean cmon...the democrat party??..who investigates anything and everything.
Was Bush risking his legacy on the chance that democrats would not investigate every bit of the Iraq War....I dont think so

Oh, I think so. Establishing a great legacy takes some risk, Badmutha. They thought
- It was going to be relatively easy with the majority of our forces home by December...2003.
- And they thought that they would find at least something in the form of WMD....most of us did (including myself)....and that is all it would take. Just think how much you and others would be jumping up and down if they had found just one Tide box full of Anthrax. That's all we'd here about.
If both of these situations came to fruition, no one would be interested in Democratic investigations....in fact, there would be no Democratic investigations.

Bush just didnt start bombing Iraq one day...he tried diplomacy....he tried letting inspectors do their job. There was only one person that had the power to avoid this war.........Sadam......and he chose not too.
Lets say Sadam would have let the inspectors complete their job......and it was verified Sadam had no WMD's......what was Bush's plan B??....attack Mexico??

One theory that I have is that this above is the primary reason we went in with so few troops when we did....while other studies and people claimed we needed several hundred thousand troops....not for the fight, but to secure the peace afterwards; instead, we went in with 160K. Building up a force of several hundred thousand takes time....probably a couple of more months. And I think there was fear that Saddam was beginning to acquiesce....and a couple of more months may have extinguished their primary reason for going into Iraq.

Bush saw a threat....and he moved to extinguish it.

Bullshit. If anyone saw Iraq as a threat, they're an idiot. But, they convinced you I'm sure....good old fashion fear mongering 101...in the wake of 9/11. That's all it was.

Fault him as you may.....if Bin Laden had been eliminated by Clinton...rather than passed up...we wouldnt have had 9/11....we wouldnt have had the Afghanastan War or the Iraq war for that matter.

Not this shit again. Well.....ahh, fuck it....I'm not going to waste my breath.

Every president that has made the decision to take this country to war......has made the case why we should...rather than why we shoudnt....Bush was no different
Like so many liberals..you have deemed this war non-justified....question is....what would have changed your mind....I mean before the liberal media changed it for you??

Nothing.
