On this, agreed on all counts :thumbsup:
 
"Who was more responsible for starting the War in Iraq?Saddam Hussein or President Bush?"

To me, asking the question is quite puzzling,,,,,,unless,,,,,😉
 
Hmm lets see.

War was in Iraq.

We attacked Iraq, not the reverse.

Bush gave the orders.


Therefore Bush started it. Duh.
 
Keep poking the big guy on the block and eventually he will flatten you.
 
All this would have been moot if Saddam actually had been in possession of "Vast Quantites of WMDs" at the time of the invasion. Damn Clinton for scaring Hussien into getting rid of them!
 
Much lower percentage than I expected. People must be quibbling about the definition of "provoked." Anyone with a modicum of knowledge of public events is fully aware that this Bush actively sought war with Iraq. Where we differ is our acceptance of Bush's rationale for the war (ie, whether the war had anything to do with terrorism). Sadly, there are a great number of people that still believe Saddam had something to do with terrorism and the 9/11 attacks, despite an absolute lack of evidence EVER produced on this point.

Sorta shocking, isn't it.

Bold = May's approval
Highlighted = June's approval

Well, this was before the whole Noe/Taft scandal really started gaining traction. I'd like to see this updated thru 7/05.

This news does not bode well for Bush. Would the Downing Street Memos have anything to do with this perception? Hmmm...

Actually I think that's an excellent result for Bush.

Consider from the following perspective.

I walk over to you, and kick you in the nuts, punch you a few times, lock you up and then move into your house.

A year later a poll shows that only 49% of people think I am responsible for provoking violence.

You forgot his motive for the actions.
You do something I don't like, so then I walk over to you etc etc.
There's also a roomful of others who are doing the same or worse than you, but I single you out for no real reason, and only 49% blame me.
