just pointed out the republican congressmans position ... priority, tough decision.

now, that said. last time I checked I didn't give a shit what you say or think ... things haven't changed since then.

You know why your ignorant, lib-retard ass can't explain why the fuck Hildabeast and Odumbo did not anticipate and prepare for an incident in Benghazi instead of getting caught flat footed and knocked on their deflecting, lying asses, CBJ7? Because there is NO adequate excuse, CBJ7, they're actions -- or inaction -- was as inexcusable as it was reprehensible. They're lying, incompetent miscreants who don't deserve to be on the public payroll!!!

[WTF]

If getting caught flat footed and knocked on their WMD dumbasses Bush and Cheney would not have been reelected

That's laughable! The Boston Bombing suspect, Dzokhar Tsarnaev, has been officially charged by the Odumbo administration with killing four people and using what it calls "weapons of mass destruction", i.e., pressure cookers, black powder and nails. Conversely, lefty-loo's dismiss and do not consider Hussein's tanks, artillery, aircraft, bombs and missle systems to be WMD?!?! Remarkable! BTW, Hussein still had the capacity to build those other items.

[WTF]

Laugh all you want...had GWB Xtried to sell pressure cookers as WMD's we would not have went into Iraq. Both Bengazi and Iraq were colossal mistakes and both presidents were reelected despite them. Time to move on IMHO.

Another factor you're ignoring. Hussein was in violation of U.N. sanctions, and Bush expounded on those violations. But some, those with select hearing, don't remember those arguments as part of his justification for the renewal of hostilities.

[WTF]

Without the false WMD threat Congress would not have gone along with Bush. Busg successfully tied Saddam to 9/11...which was false btw. But my point is the voters have spoken. Water unfder the bridge imho

Iraq was not the first nation in the Middle East to be in violation of UN Sanctions and one of them actually has WMD and it is not Iran. As far as Iraq attacking the US with tanks...well, probably wasn't going to happen. The one thing we can celebrate.....no more wars between Iraq and Iran....we won't have to pick sides this time. Natural enemies have become natural allies. We can change the course of history...Persians and Arabs...bedfellows...who would have thought?

Do tell! Would you please identify another state that acted as did Iraq under Hussein. For instance, would you identify another state that invaded and occupied a neighboring, peaceful state in the last twenty-five to thirty years. Would you please identify another such aggressor state that employed mustard gas and nerve agents against its enemies: foreign and domestic. Would you please identify another such aggressor state, that employed nerve agents against its enemies, foreign and domestic, that was known to actively support international terrorists. Would you -- could you -- please identify such a state that also violated U.N sanctions that were being enforced by U.S. military forces?

[WTF]

Without the false WMD's claims and falsely linking Saddam to 9/11 congress and the public never would have went to war. GWB brought us Iraq and Obama brought us Benghazi. I'm sure we all have differing POV's on which was worse...

"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime … He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation … And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction … So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real…"

"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program.

Your statement would be considerably more true if you replace "false" with "mistaken", and you have in no manner disputed or refuted that Bush using Hussein's violations of U.N sanctions to renew hostilities was unfounded. BTW, in 2003, the definition of WMD included "high explosives", i.e., bombs, missiles and artillery shells. Hence, "WMD" were "found". And, as a reminder, Hussein still possessed both the matériel and the know-how to reconstitute his NBC programs.

[Whirlaway]

And WMDs were found in Iraq.................

And WMDs were not the only reason for going into Iraq..........

Ari Fleischer
"Fleischer: Because of Iraq. We were wrong about weapons of mass destruction being in Iraq. If he had been right and we had found the stockpiles, as bad as the war turned out to be, much worse than we all thought it would be, I think most Americans would have said, 'well, I don't like going to war but thank god we stopped Saddam from using them." We were wrong."
Donald Rumsfeld 1:12 seconds in. Okay Tom maybe you have me on this one. He actually said it "appears" we did not find WMD. lol
George Bush
"The biggest regret of all the presidency has to have been the intelligence failure in Iraq," Bush said. "A lot of people put their reputations on the line and said the weapons of mass destruction is a reason to remove Saddam Hussein."

Notice, if you have half a mind, that "wrong" is not synonymous with "false" or "lying"! And the military definition of WMD in 2003 included "high explosives", and, as far as the FBI is concerned, still does as is evidenced in the recent Boston Bomber incident.
