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

Wait, what liberals claimed this exactly? It
did cost billions and billions as others have already pointed out, so that point is just plain wrong. Anyone who knows anything about the US military knew that the war would be over quickly, although not even those IN the military predicted it would be this easy. Most of us expected fighting in Baghdad to be similar to that in Stalingrad; street to street, house to house. Luckily it didn't end up that way. But, as I said, not even the Conservatives claimed it would happen like this, so again, your point is off base. Nobody claimed that "hundreds of thousands" of American lives would be lost, that's just ridiculous. It is worth noting that approximately ten thousand Iraqi civilian lives were lost in three weeks, which is proportional to the 60,000 American lives lost over all 10 years of the Vietnam conflict. I'm not saying that those "no good hippie liberal commies" (as so many forum denizens love to spout) are the best thing ever, but this is simply a classic straw man argument.
