I missed the documentary, was it objective or just a bash Bush?
@Ralph Hahn “I’ll bet the imposter is either “usa8888? or “Mark2.””
It’s not me buddy. Just ask Bill Gorman to check the IP addresses.
@BobbyV “I missed the documentary, was it objective or just a bash Bush?”
I would highly recommend watching this documentary. Not for the sake of who was at fault for taking us into Iraq but more for how it was sold to the American people and how we ALL got duped. It even shows how politicians and people like Colin Powell were duped. This documentary goes into detail in chronological order and shows how ALL Americans were lied to by our Government. It even shows how the media failed.
Seriously, for all Democrats and Republicans, I highly recommend you watch this when you get a chance. It’s the most informative documentry that I’ve ever seen on the lead up to the Iraq War.
Here’s the link:

Thanks Mark
Why did the evil W. Bush and Cheney want to go to war with Iraq? It couldn’t be for money, because W. Bush’s net worth in 2000 before taking office was $24 million. His net worth when leaving office was $21 millions. If he went to war to make more money it didn’t work.
You want to call people evil look at the Presidents who become millionaires once they become President.
Ralph, it was the usual dribble about Bush and Cheney ‘lying to us’ about Iraq and WMD. What the Left always leaves out is that ALL the world’s major intelligence agencies (British, French, Isralie, Russian, etc.) thought Saddam had WMD. Bill Clinton’s administration believed Saddam had WMD. It’s also well documented that Saddam played a very careful ‘cat and mouse’ game of denying he had WMD while wanting the whole world, and in particular, Iran, to believe he had WMD. What’s particularly unconscionable is that such stellar leaders as Hilliary Clinton and John Kerry, after seeing exactly the same intelligence that both the Clinton and Bush administrations had available, voted to authorize the use of force and, then only after the war became more difficult, jumped off the band wagon.
Why is Maddow focusing on us being fooled under Bush? Why isn’t Maddow doing a story on how we were all fooled on Libya and it being a video?
@Cathy
Just watch the documentary when you get a chance. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed. Just make sure you watch it to the very end where they even show how the Liberal media failed as well.
Att. Editor…Please DO NOT BAN the “imposter” since he makes so much more sense than Ralphie Hahn ever did!
Keep the the “imposter” and ban Ralphie! Thank-ya-much!
@Mike “it was the usual dribble about Bush and Cheney ‘lying to us’ about Iraq and WMD”
Obviously you didn’t watch the entire documentary.
But…. why did all those Democrat Senators VOTE, repeat VOTE for the War ?
And Colon Powell went before the United Nations with Pictures and all that.
YEAH! what about those deaths in Benghazi and how the FORT Hood shooter is collecting Gov. checks while his Victims get nadda and all that stuff etc.,
“Florida Gov. Rick Scott has announced that he will expand Medicaid to an estimated 900,000 additional Florida residents under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.”
Yet another Republican Governor who’s changed their mind…I’m glad to see that they’re finally coming to their senses.
@Betty “But…. why did all those Democrat Senators VOTE, repeat VOTE for the War?”
Watch the documentary and you’ll find out why.
Mark, actually, I did. It was dribble and intellectually dishonest. If your big news break is that the “Liberal Media failed as well”, you have to stop taking my side of the argument – Saddam fooled to world!! There was no lying or hidden agendas behind the USA going to war. We all thought he had WMD. But Saddam is no more and Iraq is a better place. And, regrettably, Iraq and the world will never truly appreciate the sacrifices our troops (and their families) made to win in Iraq. There is one person who does appreciate their sacrifices and that’s George W. Bush.
@ “Florida Gov. Rick Scott has announced that he will expand Medicaid to an estimated 900,000 additional Florida residents under President Barack Obama’s health care overhaul.”
Yet another Republican Governor who’s changed their mind…I’m glad to see that they’re finally coming to their senses.
Read why he is doing it! I will translate for the loons that dont get it.
“if ther is a program that the feds are aying for and it wont cost the state a thing I would be run out on a rail if I didnt do it but if they start making the state pay I will end it!!!” “Oh and by the way, thanks to ALL the taxpayers for footing the bill!!!!”
Welcome nanny state and get your checkbooks out cuz Obama has already cleaned out your wallet!!!!
The governor proposes Florida expand Medicaid under Obama’s health care reform law for at least the next three years, when the federal government will pay the full cost of enrolling newly eligible people. “While the federal government is committed to paying 100 percent of the cost of new people in Medicaid, I cannot, in good conscience, deny the uninsured access to care,” Scott said.
As the WiseMan has said…if President Bush did anything wrong,why would he
be walking around free? No Impeechment, no censor, etc., etc.,
Last I checked, he’s enjoying a sweet retirement, expecting a Grandchild
doncha know. Oh,well.
I want a WAIVER for Obamma Care…many others have gotten a Waiver, so I
want a waiver too….what am I, black? (a joke.)
@Mike “actually, I did. It was dribble and intellectually dishonest”
How was it dishonest???
@Mike “There was no lying or hidden agendas behind the USA going to war.”
LMAO…stop drinking the kool-aid Mike.
@betty: You’re a regular riot, betty. He’s a fellow lib-tard so the imposter makes more sense, huh?
You can’t banish conservatives. Maybe YOU are alright with the government, under Obama, is stripping away your constitutional rights little by little, we true Patriots will keep on fighting as did our Forefathers had in the past.
Please, go commit the impossible act on yourself.
