The wars are over and Americans won the wars.

If you supported the war in Afghanistan, you supported the war in Iraq.
Many Al Qaida terrorists went to Iraq for a safehaven.

If you still did not support the war in Iraq, then you never did support attacking those reponsible for the 911 attacks.

You could not have supported one without the other. Nevertheless, Americans defeated the Al Qaida and freed 50 million innocent people.

President Bush and the US soldiers are heros!

Right..that's exactly why we have 140 dollar a barrel oil right now. Go figure. A better question is why didn't these NOBLE CONGRESSMEN that were privy to all this knowledge from the start to the finish...inform the rest of the nation that they were being deceived? Could it be that they....just like Mr. Bush, actually believed these reports and based executive decisions upon the same faulty information that Several other world leaders did? How long must this dead animal be beaten? What is Mr. Black Hussein going to do with this information, pull DEFEAT from the jaws of VICTORY, once that a workable solution has been showing results? People need to go back though the archives and see what else can be thrown upon on the election year wall to SEE WHAT STICKS. BD

Partially, Badmutha.....and I also think they did. Fear is a great motivator....and they used it well
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.
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.
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.
Not this shit again. Well.....ahh, fuck it....I'm not going to waste my breath.

Nothing.

And now, I'm the Elitist of liberal Elitists...

The report says Bush relied on the available intelligence. Shoots the shit out of the "Bush lied" crowd, even if they are too stupid to realize it. More irrelevant, partisan bullshit. If you idiots want to wait until all intelligence is "substantiated", go right ahead. Even the smarter ones of your crowd, though they won't admit it publicly, know that isn't the way it works. Its not an exact science.
And heaven forbid, don't bring up Clinton and Osama...though the9/11 report faulted Clinton for his failures with Osama, we all know THAT part of the report was just right-wing partisanship.
The parts where Bush is blamed, why, thats excellent work. This part doesn't blame Bush? Obvious partisanship. This part blames Clinton? Obvious partisanship. This part says Bush has blame? Excellent report.
So pathetically transparent. But whatever snaps your beans.

What report? The one that just came out that crosses the intelligence used with the speeches that Bush/Rumsfeld were giving. The intelligence used did not match what the speeches were saying. Bush "misstated" ALOT.

Our soldiers ARE heroes. Bush can't even come close to being in the same class as our soldiers.

Freedom,

Do you really believe that just because President Bush says "mission accomplished"
The media tells the entire story by not reporting much from Iraq now, for which I predicted 5 years ago.

Afghanistan was a righteous war
What do you mean this was a righteous war?

The group that was responsible for attacking on 9/11 had NOTHING to do with Iraq. I can't believe you buy in to such crap.
The Al Qaida was in Iraq prior to 911. Maybe this link will bring you into the 21st century? Rise and fall of Abu Musab al-Zarqawi - Conflict in Iraq - MSNBC.com

Do you even pay attention to what is happening in Afghanistan and Pakistan?
Actually I do, that's how I know NATO is handling the operations there.
Obviously, this is something new for you.

Bush can't even come close to being in the same class as our soldiers.
I will have to disagree. Bush knew he would be smeared for doing the right thing and that takes placing your country before your ego. Clinton failed this test. I must respect Bush for hanging in there tough and getting the job done. Kudos to Bush!

You have all of the Liberal talking points memorized but it leads you to a dead end.

You're kidding, right?

Neither war is "mission accomplished", sorry.

OBL is still at large in Afstan, and the Taliban are still a severe threat to the Afstan people.

Iraq is hardly stable, and niether is their government. People still die on a daily basis, both inncoent Iraqi civilians and US/Allied troops. Also, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11, why are you even bringing that up in relation to "Operation Human Shield in Iraq"? And we "freed" those "50 million" peopel to subject them to cosntant civil war, hunger, deprivations, and death. Hardly a noble cause.

I would have no problem giving Bush kudos if he had "accomplished" anything of substance. I would have no problem condemning the democrat party when I think they are screwing up. That's the difference between you and I. I don't have party blinders on.

The report given as this thread starter. Here, let me help:

"The report also said administration prewar statements on Iraq's weapons programs were backed up in most cases by available U.S. intelligence, but officials failed to reflect internal debate over those findings, which proved wrong."

"...BACKED UP IN MOST CASES BY AVAILABLE U.S INTELLIGENCE..."

Wasn't the first time an administration has used spin to advance an agenda and won't be the last.

"That's the difference between you and I. I don't have party blinders on."

I've already posted in here how I think the Iraq war was a mistake...in hindsight. But those like you that "don't have party blinders on." (lolol) are more interested in attacking the administration than looking into the intelligence failures that led to the bad info. Sad.
