Never cried when Bush went in and never cried when Carter went out.Not going to cry when Obama goes in and will not cry in four years when he is gone.

I thought that Saddam was the WMD. Also, didn''''t Colin Powell show pictures of chemical laboratories on wheels? I know that our inspectors were after the nuclear program, but how can anyone term one WMD as o.k. over the other?

All that way back to Bush 1 the WMD question was relevant.

Bush 2 continued the WMD project from Clinton who continued the WMD project from Bush 1.

As Clintons said in 2003 :

"So I thought it was prudent for the president to go to the U.N. and for the U.N. to say, ''You got to let these inspectors in, and this time if you don''t cooperate the penalty could be regime change, not just continued sanctions.''"

The Presidents are on the same sheet of music and there is continuity between Administrations. This is a good thing for us.

Alan1077,
Who is this God you give thanks to? I hope you don''t think he''s Jesus, because, I don''t think Jesus would identify with you.

I always hope against hope that someone will post an informative, interesting, relevant-to-the story, comment. Where are the intelligent debates? All I ever see here is banter and name-calling. Once in a very great while, someone posts provable information, not personal rhetoric. One does not have to put someone else down for their beliefs in order to validate their own beliefs. If we all believed the same thing or the same way, there would be no need for elections, would there? So, when stating something as a fact, such as George Bush knew there were no weapons of mass destruction, state where you got your information. How do you know that? What are your sources? I am not saying it%u2019s not true, but I am saying that as an average citizen I am not in a position to say someone is a liar, or not, without proof, a reliable source.

Jimmy Carter is a Christian. Not the fake kind that populate the the right wing, but a genuine one. He told us the truth and we ignored him. Look about you now and witness the folly of that error.

"Most of the idiots in power on the right are still blaming Carter who left office 28 years ago. Most of the fools on the left are still blaming Nixon who left office 34 years ago. What sorry group of people we have in office!"

Carter is singularly to blame for the regime that currently runs Iran, and therefore by extrapolation for all the terrorism they provide funding and weapons for.

Luckily Reagan cleaned up the economic mess that Carter and the Democrat controlled Congress of his time left behind.

The Democrats blame anybody for anything at their convenience. Their lies are ubiquitous and only relevant because they use them to get their idiots into office.

Its irrelevent whether or not Clinton thought that before he left office that Iraq had biological and chemical weapons unaccounted for. In a effort to go to war President Bush was lied to Americans that Saddam was attempting to produce nuclear weapons. We didnt go to war with Iraq because of the chemical weapons that we already knew Saddam had for the last 20 years. We went to war because Bush was selling the lie that Saddam was developing nuclear weapons.....

CBS News Senior White House Correspondent Bill Plante asked the president-elect what he could learn from the mistakes of his predecessors. Mr. Obama responded, "from their successes!"
