I'll have to take your refusal to answer my questions as a "yes" you voted for Bush and you don't want to answer my other questions because it will make you realize your hypocrisy, being so holy and outraged, OUTRAGED I tell you, over Clinton's complete lack of integrity with regard to his blow job but excusing Bush for lying us into a war because um mumble mumble mumble.
You're a hypocrite as well as a delusional idiot.
I don't believe Bill Clinton lied about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction and I don't believe Bush did either. I think the intelligence both presidents depended on was flawed.
I do think...and have always thought....that weapons of mass destruction was simply an excuse. In order to sell the war Bush had to convince the American public that Iraq was a threat to us....hence the argument that me must invade them to stop them from manufacturing weapons of mass destruction....blah...blah...blah. I would even go as far to say that Bush lied....I can't prove it cause I don't know what went on in his head....but it seemed pretty obvious to me there was an ulterior motive behind the invasion of Iraq(it wasn't oil...it was about surrounding Iran).
Now even knowing this, I still supported the war for a couple of reasons:
1. We've had been in a quasi war with Iraq since 1991 and that needed to stop.
2. Saddam was a monster that we helped to create. We had a moral responsibility to remove him....even at the expense of shedding our own blood.
3. I thought the middle east would be a much better place with a democratic Iraq....and still think this.
