I supplied two fact filled links, that have easily searchable facts about the US/Iraq relationship, pre 1990's. I'm not drilling any holes, just bringing to light stuff you guys want to keep hidden. I did hate the 2nd Iraq war, because it was based on lies and false information. You guys are quick to think that any weapon the troops found, even though they were old dilapidated weapons from the 80's, were the ones Bush was looking for, but want to hide the fact that the US had involvement in suppling them, back when we had better relations in Iraq. 4800 of our kids got killed because of the Bush administration. You are quick to defend your friend Dusty, and his slamming me, because of posting some information that tells exactly where my info comes from. You guys say you care for our kids that were over there, yet you refuse to acknowledge that Bush/Cheney got those 4800 kids killed. The fact is, Iraq had no usable WMD's when we went there, and all that was found, according to the Pentagon's own words, were rusty, dilapidated, old munitions.

My criticism of Democrats are based on fundamental principles on two fronts. First, is the fact that they think nothing of lying and besmirching the collective reputations of their counterparts across the aisle. Democrats do this in order to degrade the public's perception of Republicans so that they can attain and retain the power of office. The personal attack alleviates today's candidate of the once required investment of the disciplines of fairness, statesmanship and an understanding of issues that, until the age of the modern Democrat which began in earnest with the Bill Clinton Presidency, characterized the behavior of most politicians. For example, this election season 5 billion dollars have been spent on negative campaigning. If Barack Obama has ever taken the podium and not blamed Republicans for all our ills, I've not heard it. I was there when it all started, (I called out Clinton but things banged second gear during the Reagan Presidency) and watching it go down has been the source of much vexation and concern for the well being of our country.

Second, is the apparent willingness to run over established law for the "light and transient causes", as addressed in "The Declaration of Independence."
EXCERPTED TEXT---
"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed."

The point is this. There have always been those who would water down, obscure and conflate the true intent and meaning of the US Constitution. The only way we Americans have managed to survive the test of time is by resisting the clamor for exception and change to the American model established by the founding fathers. The Democrats, supposedly known for flexibility, in our day care for only one thing. Exceptions. Reasons why you and I have to be strictly subjected to the law, but somehow minorities and special interests do not. They are therefore given exceptions to the law because of this monster we call social justice.


George W Bush did not lie to the Congress. When one looks at the premise of the liberal argument, which you have adopted as your own, with an unbiased eye, it doesn't make much sense. On the one hand, you contend that George W duped the Congress with lies so that he could lead the US to war. On the other, you contend those same members of Congress who during the last Presidential era were not smart enough to pick off that obvious ruse, are now nearly infallible. They now know everything and Americans should only listen to Democrats. You never even attempted to explain how not one single whistle blower has come forth to spill the beans with regard to this conspiracy of lies and false information you allege took place. I mean, you know somebody would have stepped up if W had done what you charge.

The framework of fabrication woven by the left to establish their case against George W is intricate enough to give the illusion of credibility, I never disputed that. However, If one was alive and paying attention as I was, then he knows what really happened. All of the WMD's they found were a decade newer than this argument is. But all of the WMD's in question were certainly not of the 80's era. Some of them, no doubt were but, this is how the left takes liberties with the facts to make their case seem more credible. In any case, the whole deal is a smoke screen designed to give cover to the Democrats that were all-in to invade Iraq. IMHO, it is nothing short of unpatriotic to blame Republicans for something they did publicly from the floor of both houses and is further a matter of public record. You might sell the rationale to those looking for a reason to justify their politics, but you'll never convince those who truly love their country and have sacrificed for it.
