Bush 43's library about to open up, interesting articles by 2 liberals

It is unfortunate that because he was a puppet for a bunch of greedy warmongers that everything else is brushed under the rug... But then again he let himself be a puppet to a bunch of war mongers.

OK, I'll bite...who exactly were these warmongers for whom Bush was a puppet? The Koch brothers? The Board of Directors at Halliburton?

If I remember correctly, Hilary Clinton and Joe Biden (1) were in the Senate when the wars were launched, and (2) both voted in favor of the war in Iraq.

So that begs the question...if those Senators allowed themselves to be pushed into war by greedy warmongers, how come Obama selected them as his VP and SecState? Same for his current SecState, John Kerry...

And they voted based on the intelligence (or in this case lack of intelligence) that was shared with them. Whether it was Rice w/Aluminum tubes, Cheney's office w/yellow cake or Powell w/anthrax, etc., the intel was all wrong.

Either the admin. lied, were bumbling idiots (which I don't think was the case) or had preconcieved notions of what they would find and ignored or didn't look in depth at what they saw that didn't fit those preconcieved notions. (which is what I think happened).

My vote for him was wasted and I view it as my biggest voting mistake.

"Cheney's office w/yellow cake "

Can you elaborate? Lots of yellowcake uranium was found in Iraq.
