		<description>11 wow, it only took 11 comments to blame Clinton. Amazing. 

You know what is sooo hilarious about Gin and his unyeilding, unflinching, unthinking support for this miserable, fascist country wrecking administration? Nothing, there&#039;s nothing funny about it. In fact it is quite sad. 

I read your link Gin, weren&#039;t all you Republican a-holes whining then that it was Clinton trying to disract from his blow job? But now Clinton was right? And if Clinton was right, which you only use as a convenient transparent device to deflect blame,  then it was Clinton&#039;s fault? Clinton never invaded Iraq with too little troops, he did some bombing runs. He never deployed troops and invaded a soveriegn nation that had NEVER attacked us. In 98, he probably still did have the WMD&#039;s that we sold him. Are you f_cking kidding me? This is your argument, you weak a_s. You&#039;re an embarrasment. Try again Gin, with some fore thought this time you fascist supporting neo con loving, constitution wrecking traitor. 

 I find it incredibly irritating and exhausting that Republicans never step up and admit when they are wrong, which is pretty much always. Even if they know deep down in their blackened souls that they are. Why take responsibility when we can lie? Brilliant. Gin, as tough as it may be to actually face up to reality, your fascist administration will go down in the annals as the worst, most despicable, corrupt regime in American history and the fact that you still support this guy only reinforces my belief that you are clinically insane.</description>

		<description>&quot;...But theyâ€™re only attacking Republicans for it. â€¦ We were wrong. Weâ€™ve always said that.&quot;

***********************************************

Since when???  Since @#$%^&amp;* &lt;em&gt;when?!?!?&lt;/em&gt;  In the past seven years, when have the Republicans generally or any members of the White House staff specifically &lt;em&gt;ever&lt;/em&gt; admitted that they were wrong about the WMD in Iraq?!?  Never, that&#039;s when.  The Democrats may have allowed themselves to go along with it, but they weren&#039;t the ones with the majority influence at the time -- and at a time of uber-patriotism bordering on outright nationalism, when people were walking around making insinuations to the effect that anyone who disagrees with George W. Bush is not only unpatriotic but an outright anti-American traitor (as Bush and Co. were doing at the time), then it&#039;s by no means impossible that some people might have felt a little threatened and intimidated.  Fleischer is engaging in a childish bout of finger-pointing in the hopes of diverting attention away from the Republicans and thus avoiding accountability, but that still won&#039;t exonerate the Republicans from their share of responsibility for what happened.</description>

Why is it that you sorryass 25% deadenders constantly blame those who were lied to, while giving a free pass to those who did the lying?

Oh yeah, I know why. Because you are sorryass 25% deaenders.

Comment by shoeless â€” January 24, 2008 @ 1:51 pm&lt;/blockquote&gt;

How about we hold everyone accountable? Without the willful support of Congress, this White House would not have gone to war. Argue with that all you want, but just know that you&#039;ll be totally divorced from reality.</description>

Argue with that all you want, but just know that you&#8217;ll be totally divorced from reality.<a href="javascript:void(0)" title=""  onmouseover="window.status=''; return true" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true" onclick="ddrc_popup('http://thinkprogress.org/wp-content/plugins/dd-report-comments/report.php?c=4242299', 400, 400)"></a></p>

		<description>Gin-There is a big difference between what Bush did and what Clinton did in Iraq. Bush invaded a country, Clinton targeted sites where they thought there might be weapons etc.

		<description>Miss Molly: &lt;em&gt;And youâ€™re (ME) apparently OK with an administration that fudges facts, cherry-picks intelligence, conflates Iraq with Al Qaeda to outrage the populace, and tells blatant lies to get us into a war? &lt;/em&gt;

 - - No, and if you&#039;ve read my comments on this site for over a year now you&#039;d know your question is ridiculous. All those things you said are true, but what would you have me do, pull a Howard Beale and scream out my window that &lt;strong&gt;I&#039;m not going to take it anymore&lt;/strong&gt;? 

Some of you people wrte and respond like you&#039;re a raw, exposed nerve. I have neither the time nor inclination to defend my opinions to a group of people who seem so intent at railing against the part of the world they object to and generally howling at the moon.</description>

		<description>&quot;The sale of Dresser to Halliburton is intriguing. We know Prescott Bush was running Dresser up until his death in 1972. We have no evidence of huge lumps of cash going into either George Sr. or George Jr.â€™s bank accounts. Is it possible that the $8 billion they got for Dresser was in the form of stock and stock options? Then, doesnâ€™t it seem possible that the Bushs and their friends actually own the controlling interest in Halliburton?&quot;

		<description>Everything has to be funded by something.  Conservatives love the Washington Times (funded by strange Korean religious cult) and Fox News (Australian billionaire who made his fortune from sleazy tabloids).  Leftists are not allowed to make the connection between everyone in the Bush administration being from the OIL industry and taking over control of Middle Eastern OIL---but if Soros funds a think tank that forms a database of White House quotes, then it must be false?!?

They are quotes---actual quotes.  As Jon Stewart says, &quot;don&#039;t they realize we are recording them?&quot;. 

I recommend the film UNCOVERED: THE WHOLE TRUTH about the Iraq War by Robert Greenwald (2004).  It&#039;s at Netflix.</description>

		<description>&quot;They are only attacking Republicans&quot; says Fleischer. 

Well, duh, little Ari. You former boss, his vice-president, Powell, Rice, and God only knows how many Neo-cons were behind this plot (Wolfowitz, Perle, Kagan, Podhoretz, etc... went around lying through their teeth about Iraq&#039;s WMDs. In fact, one year after the invasion of Iraq, President Ding-Dong, at a meeting with journalists, went around some room looking under tablecloths for WMDs. This tells you all about that compulsive liar.</description>

		<description>Hmmmm.....still ruminating here about the Bush/Cheney connection ala Dresser/Haliburton and how that&#039;s been playing out for the past 7 years.  Clearly, it&#039;s been Cheney who has been behind everything that&#039;s wrong with this country and this administration; ergo, the &quot;impeach Cheney&quot; movement.  Now it all makes perfect sense....Haliburton (Cheney&#039;s retirement tool) saved Dresser (Bush family tool) from bankruptcy.  Mix in the fact the Dresser&#039;s asbestos made the WTC obsolete and a &quot;sick environment&quot; and voila - false flag on that location makes perfect sense.  It&#039;s all about the money which, in turn, becomes the pretexe for war which means mega war profits to the two crime families.</description>

		<description>Thanks to Plunger&#039;s posts, many of us were led in the direction of the Dresser/Bush - Haliburton/Cheney direction for our research!  Kudos to Plunger!  This is something not very well known.

Also, Prescott Bush (Bush 43&#039;s paternal grandfather) was involved in selling gas to the nazis and was obstructed from so doing in accordance with the &quot;trading with the enemy act&quot;.....

Now let&#039;s connect the dots to what&#039;s been going on with the Sibel Edmonds case - where &quot;high officials&quot; have committed treason by selling nuclear secrets and it&#039;s all coming &#039;round full circle.  The Bush crime family has been doing &quot;dirty business&quot; for the past century.  When this nerd finishes his term or is impeached, they will be run out of this country.</description>

		<description>Bilbo:  You got it!  Saddam was in full cooperation and, what&#039;s more, those dirty little weapons which Bush 41 sold to him he had actually destroyed (he got one up on the Bush crime family after all!).

This is why the collective wisdom of the international community was in favor of permitting the inspectors to do their job; this was no in synchrony with Bush&#039;s war plan however.  He needed to get Haliburton in there pronto so the Bush and Cheney crime families could begin racking in the dough.  If anyone can&#039;t see the connection, research the Dresser Corp (owned by Herbert Walker - Bush 43&#039;s maternal grandfather) and how when it was in dire straights due to asbestos lawsuits which was demolishing it, it merged with Haliburton in 1989 (the Cheney/Bush money connection).  Follow the money....it&#039;s all there in black and white.</description>
