jean, the democrats don't mind waging war, they just want the white house, this has nothing to do with invading. Anything they can do to spin propaganda to get in the white house. Hilter's Propaganda machine H Himmler couldn't hold a candle to the DNC and the Media.
Since you guys again have no defense for Bush's actions in Iraq, I guess this "discussion" is over also.
cottonbowl this is for you: "To suspend hostilities, to spare himself, Iraq's dictator accepted a series of commitments. The terms were clear, to him and to all. And he agreed to prove he is complying with every one of those obligations. He has proven instead only his contempt for the United Nations, and for all his pledges. By breaking every pledge -- by his deceptions, and by his cruelties -- Saddam Hussein has made the case against himself. In 1991, Security Council Resolution 688 demanded that the Iraqi regime cease at once the repression of its own people, including the systematic repression of minorities -- which the Council said, threatened international peace and security in the region. This demand goes ignored. Last year, the U.N. Commission on Human Rights found that Iraq continues to commit extremely grave violations of human rights, and that the regime's repression is all pervasive. Tens of thousands of political opponents and ordinary citizens have been subjected to arbitrary arrest and imprisonment, summary execution, and torture by beating and burning, electric shock, starvation, mutilation, and rape. Wives are tortured in front of their husbands, children in the presence of their parents -- and all of these horrors concealed from the world by the apparatus of a totalitarian state. " president bush said all that. and there is plenty more of it. you ignore facts. here are the facts: 1. the war in 1991 ended because of a cease fire agreement. now cotton bowl i want you read that sentence twice. 2. the cease fire had terms, which iraq did not hold up. nobody disputes that. its a fact, accepted by everyone, that saddam continued to ignore the agreements made after the cease fire. 3. when you make demands of anyone, and they do not hold up their part of the deal, the deal is off. war resumes. its very very simple. cottonbowl, please stop and listen. the war happened because saddam did not keep the promises he made in order to end the war in 1991. that is an indisputable fact. it is very simple. please pay attention. any attempt on your part to dispute these facts only further proves that most democrats and liberals are too spineless to make correct decisions, and are crippled by emotionally charged and short sighted statements like "war is bad".
martin, the war occurred because George Bush, for reasons known only to himself, decided to invade Iraq. Simple as that. Plenty of people were telling him there was no reason to attack, and he made up reasons to attack and he did attack. The people who kept telling him there was no reason to attack have been proven right. Well, they have been proven right if you believe the stated reasons Bush gave for starting the war. I don't believe any of them. Right wing nuts like Bush and Cheney don't invade countries because a bunch of Arabs are being mistreated. They invade because there is something they want. Bush probably used 911 as an excuse to attack Iraq, which he wanted to do all along, as O'Neil said. We know that several of the Bushies had urged Clinton to invade Iraq in 1998. Your rationalizing and apologizing for Bush make you look silly. End of story and end of discussion.
i just explained to you why the war happened, and you ignored it. the interesting thing is that i think you know that what i say makes sense and is perfectly reasonable, but are so wed to your childish liberal ideology that you cant accept the obvious as true. good luck, and maybe you will grow out of that kind of thinking.
Well, since Bush is not going to attack any of those countries, at least we don't think so, I guess Bush has no problem with those terrorist groups killing Jews either, does he?
By saying "either" are agreeing that you do not have a problem with terrorists killing Jews?!?!?!? What are you Cottonbowel X?
This entire thread has been defending Bush's actions quite adequately. Everybody else: Talking CottonBowl: Wall
