(62,325 posts)action taken and word spoken by the liars who lied us into that war. And yes, I suspect that if they tell me someone is a huge threat to our safety, that they are problably still lying. And as it turns out, they were.
What truths did Bush speak about the War in Iraq? WMDs? Al Queda? And are you saying that we are obligated to give blind support to a war we know was based on lies, just because the President who is lying to us, sends the troops and then uses them to try to get our support? Because if so, sorry, I don't flip-flop that way.
That war was wrong, it was a tragedy, the war criminals should have been prosecuted, impeached, whatever but they were not. That still does not change the fact that hundreds of thousands of human beings died needlessly. And I did not and still do not support it. And because of that huge and tragic lie, and the failure to prosecute those responsible for it, I do not believe much of anything that we are told that is a consequence of that lie.
