    So you refused to even discuss everything I posted. Every single warmongering rally by the Democrats posted in the very first post, you are ignoring and blaming on Bush, a year and a half before he even entered office.

    Good to know.

    Again, I clearly stated that the Democrats who approved the war were foolish and bear their limited responsibility for it. But in terms of overall responsibility, the buck starts and stops with Bush. The idea to invade was his and his administration. Your thread is a weak troll attempt at best.

    The above quotes weren't democrats "approving". It was then calling for war before Bush even took the white house. Your response is a deflection, at best.

    them calling for war isn't the same as actually declaring war.
    i don't agree with the Dems, but their words were meritless - especially since no action was taken.
    You know this.
    But your'e just playing party fanboy.

    In 2001, Bush addressed Congress to announce his new "War on Terror".

    Eventually, Bush won Congress' backing over the war in Iraq.

    the inspectors had no sooner declared there were no WMD's then Bush decided to kick them out and go to war anyways, trying to blame Iraq in anyone but Bush is crazy

    W...T...F... are you talking about? The democrats did what republicans have never done, they supported the president even though he was not of their party. And now it's their fault? Maybe you should just go back to sleep.

    And what's up with all these single answer polls? Don't conservative know what a poll is?

    You see, here's how it is. The Dems did not invade. With probably the same or nearly the same intelligence, the Republicans DID invade.

    Historical revisionism is a propagandistic technique much favored by Stalin. It works best on people of very small historical knowledge who have not actually lived through the event it revises. Here it is simply embarrassing to the perpetrator.

    Are the important politicians who voted to invade, not the ones I've posted? lol

    Why did you just lie? The MAJORITY of those quotes from the Warmongering left were said in 1998-2000. BEFORE BUSH WAS PRESIDENT. lol

    Them calling for war isn't the same as declaring it? They VOTED for it after they CALLED for it. They acted on their beliefs. That's war mongering.

    Not the majority, less than half, which is a minority for those of you who have a hard time with math. As has already been noted, the Democrats didn't invade, the republicans did.

    Nancy Pelosi invaded, Hildawg invaded, Joe "the bear" Biden invaded, John Kerry invaded.

    War mongering at its finest. How much bloodshed the Democrats are responsible throughout history? Too much...

    Right wingers have not a shred of intellectual honesty. Not even one typical right wing poster here will come call this fool OP for what he is.

    It was a nice attempt man but it's time to admit it isn't true.

    These hyper-partisan bogus "polls" predicated upon ridiculously fraudulent premises are a waste of bandwidth.

    It's a shame that moderators don't impose even minimal standards.

    Dubya Bush mewling "Them Dimmycrats made me do it!" is not even remotely exculpatory, no matter how outlandishly some alienated American tries to spin it.

    a majority of democrats elected to the congress of the united states voted against the use of force resolution. If the republicans had been as against it as the democrats were, the resolution would have failed.

    Of course ALL people who are not totallly ignorant of history know that the US was already at war with ROI before GWB was even the US president. In fact, the UN coalition forces, led by the USA, bombed Iraq several times the days before GWB ever took office.

    Democrats are idiots.

    And apparently Republicans will believe any rewrite of history they are given without thinking.

    Keep up with the thread. The poster claimed that we never bombed Iraq prior to GW. And I agree that you are sorry. :yawn:

    Agreed. Gore was an appeasing punk just like Bill Clinton was who ignored OBL and 911 occurred as a result.
