Reply By: danielostPosted: Tuesday, November 13, 2007look there were 537 people minus the 4 or 5 who voted no that declared war on Iraq. they had the same Intel that the president had. the British government declared war they had the same Intel. so if the Intel was faulty then it was the CIA not the president that lied.

Bush was told by Tenet that Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11. Bush was told by Tenet that the nuclear story including the Al Tubes and the Yellow cake was not true. Bush had a report from the Pentagon that said Saddam had no military capability to attack ANYONE outside the central section of Iraq. Bush knew we were not in danger and all that BS about the Mushroom clouds was just a scare tactic Bush and Cheney used to get Congress to pass the Iraq War resolution. He sent our troops to their death and injury for a danger that he knew did not exist and failed to deal with the people that caused the attack on 9/11 in Afghanistan! Now both wars are not settled!!!!!!

Why is it that you believe that we should ignore our laws in order to put your guy in office? I remember Mr. Gore saying that he would win the electoral votes but not the popular vote and warning the public that the law was the law and the popular vote was not the law. When the opposite happens then all of a sudden the popular vote needs to count and throw out the established laws and rules for elections. Kind of hypocritical don't you think?

It was not Hillary that said we were in danger from Mushroom Clouds-- That was Bush and Cheney!!!!!

As a former chief weapons inspector for the U.N. has said, "The fundamental problem with Iraq remains the nature of the regime itself: Saddam Hussein is a homicidal dictator who is addicted to weapons of mass destruction."

In 1995, after several years of deceit by the Iraqi regime, the head of Iraq's military industries defected. It was then that the regime was forced to admit that it had produced more than 30,000 liters of anthrax and other deadly biological agents. The inspectors, however, concluded that Iraq had likely produced two to four times that amount. This is a massive stockpile of biological weapons that has never been accounted for, and is capable of killing millions.

We know that Iraq and the al Qaeda terrorist network share a common enemy -- the United States of America. We know that Iraq and al Qaeda have had high-level contacts that go back a decade. Some al Qaeda leaders who fled Afghanistan went to Iraq.

The inspectors discovered that Iraq had an advanced nuclear weapons development program, had a design for a workable nuclear weapon, and was pursuing several different methods of enriching uranium for a bomb.

Reply By: danielostPosted: Wednesday, November 14, 2007gene even if everything you say is right(which it isn't). you would still be wrong because you will not put everyone involved under the same microscope.

What I have said is correct and it was Bush who took this country to war --NO ONE ELSE!

time to back paddle and start a new bush attack thread mr gene

ever time you speak you make the congress sound less and less able to do anything.

Many times, the United States has engaged in extended military engagements that, while not formally declared wars, were explicitly authorized by Congress, short of a formal declaration of war.

You have not shown where Congress directed the INVASION of Iraq. They gave Bush the OPTION to invade Iraq. Congress failed to meet the Constitutional REQUIREMENT to formally declare war before the President has the authority to actually wage war! I would like a case brought to have the Iraq War declared unconstitutional BECAUSE Congress never declared war against Iraq as REQUIRED by the Constitution!!!!!!! NO place does the Constitution give Congress the ability to allow the President to make that choice!

gee maybe you should actually read something.


korea wasn't a declared war either. a lot more people died there.

what you have basically said in the last couple of posts is that congress declared war on Iraq but told bush not to attack them. man like i said the more i read what you write them more stupid the congress sounds. which then begs the question why should we trust any of those people with the presidency.
