Seems that works in reverse, too, only in your case, you have a lying piece of shit who is responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people.
I knew the selling of the war was lie from day one. But I think the war was justified because:
A)We had a moral obligation to remove Saddam Hussein from power.
B)An endless quasi-war and endless sanctions against the Iraqi people needed to stop.
I was hoping an occupation of Iraq would turn out like Germany or Japan. I also thought it would be a good idea to surround Iran.
I see two distinct issues that you lefties conflate.
1)How the war was sold to the American public.
2)Was the war justified.
I have a problem with the way Bush sold the war to the American people. I don't have a problem with the decision to escalate hostilities. You lefties seem to think that since Bush lied about the reason for going to war....the war itself was unjustified.
