Anvilbrother 0 #151 February 3, 2015 I'm talking about if you think it was illegal/wrong for bush to start the war, then obama just came in and continued doing the same thing the. Both are guilty of the same thing. As far as the legality I don't know, if it was obviously illegal, then why diddnt anyone go to jail? Someone once spouted some coverup here before I don't know. My point to kallend and you is move on and change what you can now, the past is the past, and obama still has troops in harms way continuing the same thing bush was doing here in the present. Bitch about that it's something that can be changed. Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

Both are guilty of the same thing. Except it's not the same thing. Creating a giant heap of shit and being given a giant heap of shit to deal with are two different things. That's not to say Obama isn't culpable for anything - for instance his inaction on Guanatanamo sucks balls - but you simply can't conflate Bush's role in the war with Obama's role.Do you want to have an ideagasm?

quade 4 #155 February 3, 2015 AnvilbrotherLike there is no executive order to help some else, ear mark, Louisiana purchase option that obama couldn't do to close it. No. There really isn't. The issue is what do you do with the prisoners? Where do you put them if you can't have Gitmo? This issue has surfaced time and again in Congress and Congress has flatly refused to allow them to be held in the US proper, so what do you do with them? Google it. I'll wait.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grue 1 #156 February 3, 2015 SkyDekker What lie/incompetence of the current administration compares to that in your opinion? Well, to be fair, not even Bush was having his cronies hunt down and kill American citizens without a trial. Bush does have his signature on PATRIOT and the MCA though.cavete terrae.

Anvilbrother 0 #160 February 3, 2015 I'm not gonna google anything I know what happened, I also know there is always options if you truly believe in something and want to get it done you can. No matter if it's shady or unpopular, like the Louisiana purhase for an obamacare vote. Your man said he was gonna do it, he can't see far enough in a plan to foresee the congress issue? Sounded like a bullshit point he wanted all his sheep to hear so they would elect him. End the war. Pffff Postes r made from an iPad or iPhone.

So if congress wasn't duped or mislead, then your intelligence agencies and your politicians are incompetent, bordering on stupid. People in the rest of the world were able to figure out the invasion of Iraq was asinine. There is a reason many usual allies decided not to participate.

It's funny - on the one hand you wouldn't trust most politicians to give a fashion interview without lying about the colour of their underwear. On the other you think that the biggest, costliest, bloodiest wild goose chase since Vietnam came from intentions as pure as the driven snow. Yeah, funny.Do you want to have an ideagasm?
