Iraq Is A Failure

Bush Remains In The State Of Denial!

from JoeUser Forums


The Baker/ Hamilton Commission has concluded that situation in Iraq is GRAVE and DANGEROUS. On November 6th Bush claimed we were winning the Iraq war. Gates yesterday told the Senate that we are NOT winning the Iraq war.

Bush continues to live in the state of denial and pledges to remain until we WIN in Iraq. Bush has defined WIN as a STABLE, DEMOCRATIC and NON HOSTLE Iraq where foreign terrorists will NOT be allowed to operate and plan future attacks against America.

There are VERY few that believe anything like what Bush claims for Iraq will materialize. The most likely outcome is a country that will see the majority Shiite dominate the government and foreign elements free to operate in western Iraq. That will mean ALL of the elements of the Bush objectives will not be achieved.

Iraq will have a government similar to Iran who Bush claims is dangerous.



There will be yet another Moslem country where al Qaeda can train and plan future attacks on America.



We will have added millions more Moslems that HATE us and be willing to participate in future attacks against America!

For ANYONE to believe this war has made America Safer, please follow the White Rabbit down the Hole for you are in WONDERLAND!

Just THINK—the Iraq War will end up costing America 3,000 of our bravest young people. Injured 25,000 half of which will go through the reminder of their life disabled. The dollar cost will most likely end up between $ ¾ and $1 TRILLION DOLLARS. Just think of what we could have done for Americans with the Trillion dollars we will end up spending on a WAR that has made us LESS safe. Lets ALL give credit were credit is due-George W. Bush!

The statements by Gen Zinni and the CIA Section chiefs that Bush Cherry Picked the Intelligence was from FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE. The MANY statements in the latest Woodward book as well were statements by people who had FIRST HAND KNOWLEDGE. You problem is you will just not accept the first had knowledge of these people because they document that Bush and Cheney manipulated the facts to support what they wanted to do. You also never address the fact that Baker, Armitage ands Powell warned Bush BEFORE he invaded Iraq of what might happen. What they warned Bush about is JUST WHAT we see today. You also do not acknowledge that the MOST senior Generals told Bush to establish control in Iraq after Saddam was removed from power it would take 500,000 troops. In fact Baker and Powell as also told Bush NOT TO invade Iraq "On the Cheep” Bush DID not listen to people with FAR more knowledge and experience then he had and the results have proven that they were correct and Bush was WRONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is not the Books but the statements that these people have made in person that Bush ignored ANY Intelligence that did not support what he wanted to do. The purpose of Intelligence is to gather the facts BEFORE making a choice not selecting the Intelligence that supports a Choice you have made!
