Sure Saddam was bad, no one is saying he wasn't. I'm just not sure if Iraq or the world is better off now. And while were taking out bad people I think we should look at Saudi Arabia, Darfur, Burma, and many other nations. Why aren't you pushing to invade those countries?
again i'll quote the horses mouth and not Bush's back pedaling:
listen to any number of Cheney videos he is still saying it today.

Still the intellegence was deemed solid. And the article says the opposite of what the poster implied. Bush did not lie, nor did the article say that Bush said that Saddam was involved in 9 11. And the article confirmed that Bush didn't say that Saddam was involved with Al Queda. The article said that they had met. I am really getting tired of the people that hate Bush and calling him a liar lying all the time. For the last time, Bush did not lie. And he never said Saddam was involved in 9 11.

Yet, $35 billion over seven years ($5 bil/yr) to provide insurance for children of working class families is too much?
How fucked are those priorities? |
The Constitution gives our government the power to wage war, not to provide health care for people. If you want it to say that, then push for an admentment to the Constitution. Until then, its unConstitutional. I wonder why some people scream and say Bush is bypassing the Constitution but then scream and yell when he DOESN't bypass the Constitution?
