Who Lied About Iraq?

Poll question: Who Lied About Iraq?

If we are going to call people liars, let us apply that label equally.

My view may be unpopular but it's bugging me. How can we call one Admin a bunch of liars and not the other(s)?

If anyone wants to challenge me, I have quotes from before the Chimpy Admin. Let's get real, that's all we can do, no?

Solutions are gold, let's hear 'em.

1. I put other because the focus on Iraq came from Bush Sr. admin but,

mostly the neocons. and Cheney. this goes back to the Ford Admin when there was a thing called plan b and Cheney and Rummy were involved along with wolfowitz. Only then, the beginning of the PNAC was focus on regime change in Russia.
And the anti diplomacy ring formed seeing it as 'weak'

2. but you see the problem is that we are occupying Iraq now

what counts now are the current set of lies that got us where we are right now. And, just because I yell LIAR at the bushites does not give the clintonites a pass, just right now that is not of prime importance to me.

4. The war-chimp lied and then invaded and occupied and slaughtered

Clinton didn't do that

Who says there has to be a solution?

Perhaps the chimp has fucked this up beyond repair.

6. Who says there has to be a solution?

Better to naysay after the fact and offer no solutions.

12. Excuse me, but I was naysaying well BEFORE the fact!

As were millions of others. It was not hard to see where this was going.

Do you imagine there is some "solution" that will address the fact that hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians have been slaughtered in this idiotic war of choice.

I don't know what kind of point you are trying to make here, but it seems pretty fucking lame.

7. Clinton may be compliant but, it began a long time ago.

8. in what ways do you bring Clinton administration into this ?

[Eugene]

9. The Bush administration made the case for war against Iraq.

The Bushies told or repeated the key lies justifying an invasion and insisted
that America must act immediately even if convincing evidence was not apparent.

Regardless of what Bill Clinton or anyone else said, the Bush administration
established the OSP to cherry pick intelligence and other agencies like the WHIG
to feed propaganda to the press and market the war to the American people.
The aluminum tubes, the Niger yellowcake, the bio weapons trailers, the Prague
meeting, and Curveball were all presented to the American people by the Bush
administration. When the case for war did not add up, supporters said, "You
have to trust your president." Unfortunately, two-thirds of Americans did.

10. What are you talking about?

What context are you talking about liars? Are you attempting to displace the blame about the Iraq debacle? What others?

11. One other

Oil

Notice that even before Bush's "Mission Accomplished" speech, Big Oil's minions were hard at work getting the Iraqi oil fields back into production.

With their man in the White House, it is no wonder that companies like XOM were up over $20 a share last year and had some quarterly profits of over $10 Billion. Big Oil's control of the White House also explains the current position on such subjects as global warming and other environmental concerns.
