Quote from vhehn:
bush got everything he asked for to fund his war.
I hate to say this, but I used to think your were a smart guy... I don't know what the Hell happened to you... ??
Bush invaded Iraq for 2 reasons. (1) He wanted to run for re-election based upon "winning a war"..... "protecting the American people from (something... even if it was all a lie)".... always popular reasons (did not want to run for re-election against an anticipated weakening economy) .... and (2) spending on war efforts [deficit] always go virtually unopposed... and such spending always appears to support GDP to make the economy "look good". THAT'S IT! Besides Bush expanding [illegally] the powers of the executive, he was all about "getting re-elected at any cost"....
Asshole supreme, in my book.
