Talk about the Iraq war?

Question

In 2000 Al Gore vs bush. The Democrats and Republican was going to go to war with Iraq any way.

So why did the Democrats attacked Bush when he went to war with Iraq?

Was this a way to get the Democrats in office?

Why did Bill Clinton take them out in the first place?

All this is true they just don,t talk about it. I don,t like Democrats or Republicans but I rather have a Republican in office.

Answer 1

I don't think you have the analytical skills to make that call.

Answer 2

Bush wanted this war. He lied and provided faulty intelligence to get congress to invade Iraq. It was wrong and still is wrong. Don't place the blame on this horrific war on the Dems. It happened on Bush's clock.

Answer 3

What people fail to realize is that the majority of both parties wanted this war. The Democrats already made continual promises of withdrawing. They have the power to veto the funding, and there, they will be coming home. But, no because BOTH parties are paid by bankers, lobbyists, and special corporations that make tons of money off of this occupation.

This two party system is playing the game of hating each other, but in fact, both parties are lobbied and influenced by special interests. Elect a democrat or republican, both are the same, nothing will change.

Btw, the UN also voted against the invasion, when China and Russia vetoed it. This war is not only illegal under international law, but well against our own Constitution. Take care.

Answer 4

Technically, Clinton didn't have them in Iraq, he just launched a 4 day air strike, which did not need congressional approval, unlike going to war with Iraq which needed it and got it.  Anyone remember why Clinton bombed Iraq for 4 days?  Because he suspected that they were developing weapons of mass destruction.  Wham, Bam, outta here.  Now that the war isn't popular anymore, all of a sudden it is about oil, and ignore the whole rebuilding thing, let's leave the country in shambles for another dictator to move on in so that we can go to war with them again.  No thank you.
