A non-existent terror threat turned into a real one, as Al Quaida gained legitimacy and saw its ranks swell, a legacy of torture, wrongful imprisonment, use of proscribed radioactive weapons by the US military in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Bush administration went ahead with the war despite nearly everyone pleading with them not to do it. Hell bent on their own agenda, lying and distorting every step of the way, with the results we have seen: the cost underestimated by almost 300%, the time frame underestimated by a ratio of for years to "a few weeks". 70 million or more American adults want a new investigation into 9/11, and 53% of Americans want Bush impeached if he lied about his reasons for going to war in Iraq (and a majority believes he did lie). It's not about dems and reps, it is about being fair and just with others. In this case hundreds of thousands are dead as a result of the "mistakes" of a few. Actions are needed so those responsible for the Iraqi tragedy are held accountable. America must clean up her face.
Whyyyy do i have to constently repeat myself?????? Why do u people actually believe that the office of the presidency has any true power anymore? the true power of foreign policy decision making is in the hands of the people that are behind the scenes. Read colonel fletcher prouty's the secret team and u will understand that it is people like the briefing officers and such that have the true power to shape our foreign policy. The president just looks good in front of teh camera and knods and smiles. Like i said before the only resident who ever tried to tangle with these men was jfk. I wonder what happened to him , and anyone that either falls for those dumb lib and republican labels is falling right into their laps. Throughout the history of great empires like the roman empire the emperors life has always been in the hands of the preatorian guards who could pull the plug on him at anytime(et tu brutas). You people are blaming the wrong person. Remember to look behind the scenes and not think like wannabees
i agree although sometimes it is easy to blame bush as he is in the public domain, however he could always say no to these people. and is it really fair to the amercian people to have a leader who is so easily presuaded to take such history making actions and most for all the wrong reasons
Shannon if the military industrial complex wants to go to war bush cannot say no. Last person that said no to war was jfk. Where is he now?
If you are a president you have to have the GUTS to say NO when needed. Even if that costs you your life.
pingpong123 he may of said no to war but he still attmpted to carry out loads of major assinations, including over 20 attempts on cuba's prime minister
