Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
About time? Nay, far too late, thousands of thousands innocent died, that neck is RED, bloody red!
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
Better late than never, those responsible must be held accountable.
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
^ yeah ...how many of the marines are you going to lock up UTD?

They were lied to Kaleem, guess who lied?
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
The senators who signed the bill that allowed Bush to go to war? :)
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
but doesn't it all come down to the cowboy as he is the "leader"?
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
The senators signed the bill for the president to go to war as a last result. It didn't give him permission to make up intelligence to go into a war uneccesarily.
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
Kaleem, you just keep swinging but aren’t hitting a damn thing. Congress authorized force only as a last resort and it’s clear that this direction was not followed by The White House.
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
^ There ya go, Kaleem. An example of a liberal who knows what he is talking about.
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
but he did not make it up…have you forgotten George Tenent or whatever his anme was resigned…It was all CIA’s fault…it was Powell’s fault who showed us those pictures of mobile WMD trucks and factories…what is a man to do? He was given false information. 
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
They were likely coerced into giving false info, especially Powell. What's a man to do? BE A MAN. Accept responsibility. The buck stops here. Hire people who don't lie and manipulate. Fire those that do. Don't rush into a war to vindicate your daddy and please your oil buddies and neocon supporters.
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
^ Semi you and I both know that your smarter than these talking points.....
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
I think the Democrats are asking lot of questions, same questions that have been asked by the public for more than two years. Since then no indictment or punishment? The war was un-just based on faulty false information and nobody got punished instead a 'Medal of Honor' was awarded to them. So many Muslims were held in prison after 9/11 for no reason, who is responsible it? We all know who is responsible for this and many other things, Democrats know that too and they are still there. Why?
I commend the Democrats for taking this action but they better have some results, otherwise it will only be a stunt.
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
oh how convenient.. NOW they realize all this was based on lies and concoctions? they better get faster internet connections.. we knew that two years ago.. but of course back then we were called 'conspiracy theorists' and what not.. and the same Demoncrat fan boys now gleeful at this news were behind the Demoncrats in sending boys and girls to die for a lie.. shame on you Demoncrats.. you're worse than the Repubelicons

Again, force was only to be used as a last resort, that is exactly how it was spelled out.
Admittedly I did support the Iraq war knowing that the U.S. forces would runover the Iraqi conventional military but I followed that up saying that control needed to be turned over to the UN immediately following military conventional success. The Bush administration saw an easy victory after a few weeks or war and wanted the spoils for themselves and decided to snub the UN. Reponsibility lies with the with White House who sent the country to war half hazardly selling it by saying the U.S. would be greeted with candy and flowers not those who authorized force as a last resort.
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
that's just a cop out.. when he went to war.. what did Demoncrats do? how did they protest that abuse of their vote to war? organize any rallies or care to even show up at one? they wouldn't touch the anti-war public with a ten foot pole and now suddenly they'be become patriotic? why? is 2000 deaths a magic number?
Re: Democrats Demand Inquiry into Pre-War intelligence.
UTD, tell me why did Democrats supported the war knowing that it was based on faulty information. They knew that Saddam had no connections with 9/11 or Al-Qaeda. Why did they vote for it? They fell on the trap of not been called 'Patriots'. This same trap was used to abuse the civil liberties and many other things and all Democrats have done is give mixed messages. Everyone had their back supporting them, asking them to stand up and take down this Bush administration once and for all. If you ask me public will still support them if they are 'willing' to do the same but what the public have found so far is that they un-organized and with no clear message. Their own counterpart don't agree with each other. I don't like President Bush and his administration but the Democrats have really let us down. This is not Cliton type administration that despite all the obstacles stays with their message.
Still like any other optimist, let's see what they achieve from this. We don't need questions, we don't need answers. The public knows everything, someone needs to be held accountable for all the mess domestically and internationally.
