Before the war, the democrats of our country and around the world claimed that a war in iraq would take months or even years and cost billions and billions.
It was over fast, and didn't cost billions and billions.
Before war, they claimed a war would cost the lives of thousands to hundreds of thousands of american lives.
It hasn't....
Before the war they said a war would create an unescapeable environmental problem that would destroy the eco-system.
looks ok to me?
How many liberal lies and made up stories and stats can this country stand?
Thank God for Bush. He may, at times, seem to be a little Gumpish, but at least he isn't clinton or full of shit like the red diaper baby boomer liberals

I don't see anything he needs to back-up.
Most of this is now self-evident unless you've been under a rock somewhere for the last 3 months or so.
First off - the number of American lives lost - trying to maintain order since the war ended has cost 29 - the number killed in the war, by the war - about 30 Totals casualties to this date a little over 200. Most the result of automobile accidents.
How many billions did the war cost - very damn little - what is costing money is trying to rebuild a country that was pillaged and plundered by its own government -
An ecological disaster - not even as much so as the first Iraq War. What few wells that were ignited were controlled in a short time.
Perhaps we should apologize for the fact that this war didn't end up as so many you predicted, and as it almost appeared some of you actually wanted -
Perhaps this would make a good read for some of you - It should be from enough of a liberal source to suit the most liberal of you!

Did They All Lie About Weapons of Mass Destruction?
By Paul Walfield
CNSNews.com Commentary
June 05, 2003
Many people from just about every political persuasion nowadays are clamoring for an explanation as to why no weapons of mass destruction have been found in Iraq.
As Congressman Meeks said on Fox's Hannity and Colmes on June 5, 2003, "It's been 72 days since the beginning of the war in Iraq."
Bill O'Reilly is quick to add, "The administration should be given a few more weeks" before being called upon to explain. Though, he has been saying that, every show, every day, for a few weeks now.
No one - not even the French and Germans - thought for a minute that Saddam did not have weapons of mass destruction.
The entire United Nations Security Council put into Resolution 1441 their belief that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction.
Bill Clinton told us during his administration that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
These weapons will be found in Iraq, but it just might take a bit longer than the cynics would like.
It is a strange phenomenon. Torture chambers in Iraq have been exposed; horror stories have been told and verified; unmarked graves have been unearthed and 25 million Iraqis have been freed from a monster's grip, yet some people think we have all been duped into a war based on a lie.
