- Both sides did vote for it and when it was popular, both sides continued to be for it. But, when it lost popularity, the rats left ship as fast as they could.

- Obama needs to pull all of our troops out immediately. He has stated emphatically that he would not have voted for the war. This certainly would indicate he would support a leader like Saddam Hussein. In that case, pull our troops out and let another leader like Saddam emerge.
To leave troops in Iraq to clean up after a war our President says should have never happened is stupidity on his part. His actions now depict him as a liar. - Reply to this comment

- America should be indifferent. That was a Republican illegal war that has cost this nation plenty and America won't soon forget it. The republicans are gone. Iraq can go with them.

- iraq can go to helll along with the idiot republi'con's
that created this mess for their own personal gain.
- Not blue, if you look the LIES were told by the Bushies. If the truth were told the liberals would not have voted or supported the war. That is why Obama is President today, not Hilary Clinton.
- nottrue,
It required an administration that was willing to fabricate an incredible web of lies and deliver them to the American citizens and congress to start and fund the war in Iraq! And it took the resulting quagmire to force the continued funding of that war!
Now that 'tangled web' is beginning to unravel in their laps. Have you not noticed that Cheney has emerged from his undisclosed location to blast the airwaves with even more lies? His lies are now contradicting his lies... that's what happens when you lie too much!
- Americans are still very aware of the situation in Iraq. We want our troops out and we don't want to foot the bill any longer for a misguided war started by Bush/Cheney.
Our drawback should be quiet, unpublicized and uneventful. Both countries can celebrate when we are gone and they are handling their own affairs.
- Uh,I do believe congress voted on this and before you start with the "Bush lied mantra", your side has had congress for over 2 years-DEFUND THE Fy'ing WAR!! They did it and ended Vietnam, do it now or shut up!
- My lord you are displaying a most ignorant attitude, and it is clear you know nothing about the world you live in.

America entered militarism openly. We created the WORLD'S biggest social program when we created the Military-Industrial complex.
Welfare pales in comparison to the military.""
And to think many of the enlisted still qualify and need the good old fashioned welfare as well.
- Like Shrub would have signed the bill defunding the war if it had passed. He'd have just had his veto pen ready in an instant. Amazing how nothing was vetoed for 6 years and everything was for the last two.
- iam4honesty, so you are of the belief that some great conspiracy kept the braindead dems from knowing the truth????? In other words Bush convinced the CIA to fabricate info geared towards foolling the 50% in congress, the Demiocrats inot going along with a war and the ongoing funding? Now these same Dems have complete control but are suddenly competent enough to run America unapposed? Typical lib logic, in other words, nonsense!!!!!!!!!!

Iraq has Weapons of Mass Distruction that can and will be used against our nation! Iraq has LINKS to Bin Laden and Al Qaeda! Those were the lies and all remember the Terror Alerts and Color Codes. THEY were LIES told to this NATION and used to INTIMIDATE Congress. Either you have a very short memory or you simply do NOT want to remember. This is what should have happened the MINUTE the Worst in our History and Darth found out there were no Weapons. Iraq WAS NOT then nor is NOT NOW the front in the War on Terror. That to was a LIE also!
- George W. Bush WAS and will ALWAYS be responsible for Iraq. The fact that Congress approved force in NO WAY made him use it or cause the lies he told before and after using it. The American People rejected his LIES a long time ago and hardly anyone who has any sense of fairness in them holds anyone OTHER than Bush/Cheney responsible. The worst Attack on the US took place on their watch and THEY invaded a Country that had NOTHING to do with that attack. Anyone who thinks the pages of History will say, "Well it's okay that Bush/Cheney did what they did because Congress voted to allow them. That's INSANE!!
- nottrue,
Were you in a coma six years ago? It is common knowledge that the Bush/Cheney crime cartel 'cooked' the intelligence for the purpose of lying to congress and the public. Were you asleep when Cheney and others talked about mushroom clouds, yellowcake uranium, bogus aluminum tubes, chemicals, mobile WMD labs, balsawood airplanes for the purpose of delivering biological weapons to America? Were you on life support when Valerie Plame (a covert CIA agent) was outed by Cheney and his band of pirates to punish her husband for uncovering the 'yellowcake' lie... and to send a signal to anyone else who dared cross the mob?
Have you been 'out-cold', or have you learned to lie just like your heros, or are you just simply stupid?
