I see a recurring theme of some of the liberal posters...

[Squisher]

Warmongering....maybe, unless he really felt that Saddam was an imminent threat and this falls back on the info he was getting from our own intelligence and others around the world. Many dropped the ball here.

Was he predisposed to go to war? Well, he had a tyrant who had been thumbing his nose at us since Gulf War 1. A tyrant who had used WMD and had a large cache of oil to grease the gears of terrorism.

Was Saddam using his oil to support terrorism? Probably not any more than other countries of the middle east.

Is Iraq a morass from which we need to get out? YES!

Is involving a more multi-nation force the solution? I can't see how having a fragmented command structure and an army with differing allegiances would be better. It might spread the misery amongst more countries, but would probably cause more total misery.

Do you think that's a realistic expectation?

With this congress?

No. But that would be my solution.

Ok, several themes here & I'm curious if they're just going to be insurmountable..

1.) Bush lied to the public, & is responsible for thousands of deaths.

So where do we go from here? I see it posted over & over, but I don't see a solution or any middle ground. What is your proposed resolution to the claim about being misled into an unjust war?

I am thinking that an apology to President Bush would be a good start...

2.) The war in Iraq.

Considering we're already there, have invaded, and an exit in the forseeable future would lead the country into a bloody civil war what are your proposed solutions to ending the war?

How about: We Win ?

(At least it's not another thread giving advice to the Dems about how to win an election )
