He acted on intelligence supplied to him. Bad intelligence yes but intelligence none the less. He was acting on our best interest in terms of security in light of what happened on 911 I feel he was justified and I am betting at the time...most of you did too! Did it go bad? Yes? There is no pleasing everyone....if he did nothing people would piss and moan......so how can you win??? Nothing will ever come of it.....word!

hold on bigfish... you said 'he'. Oh no.. this will go way beyond 'he'.
It has been proven that intellegence was cherry picked and contrary intellegence was ignored. The people who were involved with that is who I think will pay. 'He' i believe is untouchable... simply because they pushed the war in such a slick way...
Call it what you want Eben......guys like you throw things like..."It was proven" around and its based on here say and gossip sprinkled with half heard information. You don't like how it went so you want to scape goat Bush! You are entitled to your opinion on Bush but you are kidding yourself if you think there will A) Be an investigation and B) Anything will ever come of it! As others have said why spend another billion dollars on a witch hunt?! There are more important irons in the fire!
I remember the "climate" around here when we went into Iraq and most people were on board......peoples memories are darn short and very selective.
OK they were lied to......is it their fault because they were misinformed?? Bush was misinformed. Regardless Hussein was running around over in Iraq doing "Hitler" like things and people like him need to be dealt with.......and I am glad for that. Bush Sr. should have finished the job when he was in office and I blame him for coming up short on that! Now we need to focus on getting out of there and I do not think we need to force feed Democracy to a country that does not want it, respect it or will be keeping it. This is a losing battle. Our objectives were met.....sweep up and get out!
Is that a "Democratically" fueled website with a one sided view? I am betting it is and with a heavy slant on the truth and facts. I was there and I remember how it went down.......we are all great "second guessers".......I would not want to be President I can tell you that!
Most were on board because they were lied to. I dont expect Bush to be the focus of this by the way..
Maybe nothing will happen and that is fine, but it would be nice to see Justice prevail over greed and profiteering.
Many if not all of those on board said they had thier people check out the info before they voted to back Bush. So how do you back away from that. You can't legitimately, but you can try.

Nice smokescreen by Biden, Congers, Waxman et.al, sooz not to appoint a special prosecuter to see who in Congress was responsible for the Freddy, Fannie meltdown that has us headed for a "29" depression.

I was thinking the same thing. You want some bang for your prosecutorial buck, go after Frank and Dodd. Two individuals who are neck deep in the worst financial crisis since the great depression. Make the tax payers and those who were directly affected and fleeced feel like they can at least get some closure. Put a face to those who are guilty. I do not care what party they are from. Although I think we all know.
