from the CBO. I know they are a tainted source... you can pretty much mark the hour when the democrats took over the checkbook. my how shitastic things have been since then.
 
Your link did not work for me. However it is true that Republican President Bush and his Republican administration pushed the US into a war with Iraq foor which we never should have been in. The planning of the initial attack was very poor and there was no exit strategy early on. 8 years later a Democratic President came into office and captured the man who actually attacked us 10 years prior. Unfortuantely that did require that he double down a bit in Afghanistan. The country that actually harbored the terror network that had attacked us. Crazy concept I know. That same Democratic President is seeing that troops are now withdrawing from Iraq 10 years later and hopefully this will decrease the amount spent in Iraq due to past President Bush and his what I would consider criminal behavior.
 
I always laugh when I see the left credit Obama for taking out Bin Laden as if he was doing something different than the previous administration. Hell, if I'm not mistaken, Obama almost effed it up anyway as I seem to recall that he knew his location for a matter of time before calling in the hit.

The only people that should get credit for Bin Laden's death are the military and the intelligence community.
 
Obama didnt find bin Laden. For whatever reason, the intelligence finally figured out where he was, allegedly, and got him. Obama just happened to be in office. Obama and his Wall Street cabinet doubled our national debt from what it was when he got into office. Yay.
 
You do realize the date that the original legislation said troops would be pulled out is 12/31/2011. So exactly how is President Obama responsible for the troop pull out?

I have got to hear this one?

You do know that Obama and team failed at the negotiations to keep the troops there past 12/31/2011?

You know that right? Please tell me you know that?
 
You do know that Obama tried to negotiate keeping the troops in Iraq longer and failed at those negotiations?

Please tell me you know and understand that?
 
You do know what the War on Terror is don't you?

ANY COUNTRY that harbors terrorists is fair game?

Do you need a list of all the Al Queda members that were caught in Iraq or killed there?

Do you really need the news reports and reports of a dozen intelligence agencies from across the world that said Iraq had WMD'S?

It is a shame that he didn't or did he move them to say Libya before the US invaded? It was real interesting when Quadaffi came to Jesus right after the US invaded Iraq and turned in all those WMD and straigtned his act out?

You are so blinded by hatred and untruths told by the main stream media that you do no other research or information gathering than what you hear on Bill Maher and David Letterman. Very Very Sad!!
 
It is ridiculous to acknowledge Congress's role in the Iraq war and then still blame Bush.

If you are going to vote on something, it is your responsibility to know everything there is about the subject. If a Congressman didn't call into question intel he/she thought weak, that is the fault of the Congressman.

Also, if the intel was wrong do you have any evidence Bush knew it was wrong?

Not at all. That's a rather bizarre statement to make, imo. GWB was banging the patriot drums and Congress (and a lot of the public) didn't want to be seen as unpatriotic. Especially when GWB et al were equating not going along as supporting the terrorists.
 
Give me a break. That first stimulus was supposed to be for "shovel ready projects" and instead it went to payoff Obama's political allies. What a disaster.
 
Roger35,

Funny how dems rely on polls for their argument from places like NYT who go and ask people like the OWS crowd to get their percentages or things that is impossible to to prove like Obama Admin claiming they saved millions of jobs because of the first stimilus. The fact is that first stilimlus cost tax payers $278,000.00 per job and Obama still averages 9.4% unemployment in his presidency. That is a fact you can't twist, spin, or even lie about.

We could pass that job bill and go to 50% unemployment and you would claim Obama's job bill worked. Sometimes it's just best to stop looking like a fool. You know what I mean Roger?
