Fair enough, and we don't agree about Reagan, you were evidently too young to gain the proper perspective. But after your evil step mommy rose up on the Senate floor to make an impassioned plea for support to the Resolution from her brethren, she reversed herself (did you read the article?) and accused W of tricking her into supporting the Iraq War Resolution.

The irony there being that W was accused by the Dems who inhabited both houses of the congress in that day, all of them towering intellects themselves, of being dumb. So a dummy tricked Hillary and others of the lightening swift intellectuals of the Democrat conference, to do something they did not want to do. :please:

But, you will notice that I said 'if' W has blood on his hands. The only person I said that factually did have blood on his hands was CM. My opinion on the matter goes as follows. I believe the intelligence community of the day delivered what they believed was factual intel to be considered by the Congress and the Executive Branch in their deliberations as to whether or not the US should go to war. Further, I believe after the end result of the war did not offer the exonerations hoped for, the Dems seized on cheap and dishonest political theater to gain an edge with the people in what history will prove to have been a show of shameless opportunism. We did what we thought was right at the time, and if we hadn't withdrawn our troops according to the mindless missteps of a bunch of rabid liberal chipmunks, I would venture that stability in the region might just be a reality right now rather than the nightmare we have.

There are other reports in the news where Hillary is concerned, which I will not go into here. I am not about to defend Hillary though, I'll leave that to you if you want the job.

I'm not a Hillary defender; however, I do not believe the fate of America hangs in the balance on November 8, be it Trump or Clinton who is elected.

The dismissal of the Republican Guard was, to me, the single most disastrous decision of the Iraq War.

Politicians are career survivalists. Very few are immune to this instinct.
