I'm not a war mongerer. I just object to the Democrats pretending it was all George Bush when Hillary voted for the Iraq War Resolution. I don't listen to Rush. I know he's one-sided. He has some good points but it's been years since I've heard him. Maybe it's because I have a career?
The thing is, the American people were hearing from both parties that Hussein had WMD. All the quotes are out there from Bill Clinton and Al Gore. The American people were made to believe this guy was a threat. Did Bush push the propaganda envelope? It sounds like he did. In fact, I voted for Nadar in 2004 because we found no WMD in Iraq. I remember the unequivocal speeches made by Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld about the WMD. Did Hussein hide them? Did he pretend he had some to keep Iran guessing? I think we know he possessed some mustard gas and other horrible chemicals. I think we know he was motivated to develop nuclear weapons. But so was/is North Korea and we have not attacked them. So it was a strategic decision THAT HILLARY BOUGHT INTO. Even Jimmy Carter once declared that our access to ME oil was a matter of national security. He said that in the context of the cold war but it still holds based upon how we human beings live our lives of comfort.
