Who started Bush's War in Iraq?

[MethuenProgressive]

There seems to be a debate on who is responsible for Bush's War in Iraq.

[blonndee]

1. What a silly, RWish question. My HS students would recognize this intentionally fallacious choice.

Often a key element of propaganda, as you know, and used primarily by the desperate who have no or few other options to forward their argument.

[MethuenProgressive]

7. Thanks for your "one senator" vote

[blonndee]

15. Actually, I didn't vote, due to the idiotic nature of the question. n/t

[MethuenProgressive]

20. It was 5 *other* DUers who gave Bush a pass?

wow.

[blonndee]

24. Guess so. But only one DUer who created such a childish, FOX News-type poll. Funny, huh? nt

[in_cog_ni_to]

2. The Psycho-In-Chief. n/t

[lligrd]

3. And Who Abdicated Their Responsibility To Be The Only Body

that can declare war and gave * the ability to do it?

[Captain Hilts]

17. He's got 60 days to do whatever he wants with the troops before he has to give notice...

to the Senate.

[Double T]

4. WHAT? Where does this STUFF come from???

bush AND cheney are the culpable criminals. one senator? And WHO did YOU have in mind?

[MethuenProgressive]

5. There seems to be a fad currently on DU to blame the Iraq War on one person.

And it seems like they give President George Bush a pass...

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

13. Please link to those posts that give * a pass on the Iraq War. Thank You.

I seem to have missed this amazing event of DUers coddeling *'s butt.

[MethuenProgressive]

19. See the poll. Five DUers voted he wasn't responsible.

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

22. Bah, Those are just Senator Clinton supporters holding you up.

[Double T]

14. Thanks for enlightening me.

There's SOMETHING happening around HERE and I will look forward to the day when these elections are over so this place can return to 'normal'.:evilgrin:

[comradebillyboy]

6. Its all Hillary's fault don't you know

since she personally controls the senate majority and she forced Bush to invade.

[nightrider767]

8. Stupid!

Eight years ago Bush could not even find Iraq on the map. He's a numb-skull.

This is beyond Bush.


Wake up!

[calico1]

9. Hillary Clinton.

If you are to believe some of the posts here.

10. Umm... Dick Cheney? Rumsfeld? Wolfowitz? Perle? I could continue. nt

[Kitty Herder]

11. Ooops. Meant to reply to OP. Sorry.

[Jed Dilligan]

12. Yeah, like there can only be one culpable person,

what an utterly cretinous premise.

[MethuenProgressive]

21. It's odd the Obamas keep parroting it, isn't it?

:shrug:

[Jed Dilligan]

23. Link?

31. You are a fanatic and a closed-minded nincompoop. nt

[OnceUponTimeOnTheNet]

33. One thread on the first page of GDP discusses H.J.Res.114 as far as I can tell.

And I didn't read it.

[blonndee]

28. Um, excuse me, but isn't it YOU who claims it MUST be only one person, given your poll?

EITHER George Bush OR "one senator"?

:rofl:

[blm]

16. The closing of the books on Iraqgate, IranContra and BCCI actually started this road to war

in Iraq as well as the soon to be war with Iran.


Anyone who has studied this nation's recent history knows that.

18. Congress.

The power to declare war resides with Congress, so it was Congress that is to blame. The blame falls on all in Congress who votes for the IWR. Plenty of blame to go around. Yet some were intelligent or scrupulous enough to vote against the IWR.

[leftofthedial]

25. who helped?

Clinton, among way too many others.

The issue is not just her vote for IWR, but her obviously dishonest and dissembling explanations of it now.

[IndianaGreen]

27. Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Powell, Wolfowitz, Feith, AIPAC, MSM, and the Congress

This war has lots of bipartisan fingerprints on it.

They are all GUILTY!

Doubly so, because many of them voted 5 years later to give Bush the green light to attack Iran when they voted for Kyl-Lieberman.

29. So far 6 people are trolls

Why do people have to do that?

[MethuenProgressive]

35. Lets Hope theywere Trolls.

And not True Believers.

[onehandle]

30. A troll... George W. Bush.

Am I being clear?

You are a troll...George W. Bush...You are most definitely a troll, and your very existence make us look like idiots.

Got it?

[Sapphocrat]

32. The Clagina!

That's what I read on the interwebs, anyway. :shrug:

[MethuenProgressive]

34. Maybe if I put that option in the poll...

...instead of 'one senator' Bush would be gettin' less blame.
:hi:

[MethuenProgressive]

36. President George Bush. (29 votes, 81%), One senator. (7 votes, 19%)

DU's not as dumb as the Obamas Hope.

[MethuenProgressive]

40. 33 to 8!

[MethuenProgressive]

43. 35 to 10!

[ronnykmarshall]

Some assholes around here believe that shit.

[ronnykmarshall]

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

41. NANCY PELOSI!

RRRRAGGHHHHH AGHTHAHGGGG RARRRRRRRRRR!

[MethuenProgressive]

42. Ten DUbamas think Clinton caused Bush's War in Iraq.

Why are they pimping that lie?

[VarnettaTuckpocket]

44. Hillary will get you pretties....and your little dog too!

[MethuenProgressive]

45. 38/11

Bumping this because appearently there's still some confusion among the Obamas...

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

46. GHWB

Kept on a low simmer by WJC, then re-opened big-time by GWB.

17 years of war. Pretty soon, it'll look like a quagmire.
