Here's the thing:

Bush and his cronies wanted revenge for 9/11 and rightfully so. We allegedly searched for Osama bin Laden in the ensuing year. Then, when the search for Osama began looking dire in the summer of 2002, he and his staff began kicking around the idea of going after Saddam.
1. He was one of the world's most brutal and fascist leaders.
2. He wanted to kill Bush Sr., and Bush Sr. was too lax in catching him during the first Iraq invasion in '91. Bush Jr. was hellbent on being more of a Reagan style conservative than a Bush Sr. moderate, so he wanted to look tough and in charge, by getting the job done this time.
3. They believed Saddam was an easier target to catch than Osama.
So, what it comes down to is: The U.S. doesn't want to get pushed around, and wanted to send the world a message after 9/11: You can't come into our country and commit acts of terror without there being hell to pay. Osama wasn't readily available to be made the target of our frustrations, so we go after another brutal dictator who we know our country can rally behind the ousting of.

The fact that Saddam made it look like Iraq might have nuclear weapons doesn't give Donald Rumsfeld the right to go in, and falsify the documents, saying "We will definitely find nuclear weapons." Granted, it looked like they did, but as it turned out, they didn't have them, and that doesn't detract from the fact that Rumsfeld is a big fat liar. Also, Rumsfeld and Perle, along with **** Cheney went to great lengths to create a tie between Saddam and 9/11. Granted, Saddam was a terrible leader, who deserved to be prosecuted to the fullest extent, and doesn't detract from the fact that **** Cheney, Richard Perle and Donald Rumsfeld are big, fat liars.

Bush, he's just off in another world, he's off in dream world. I don't even think he's really been present during his tenure. He justs loves sitting over this land with his executive gavel. He probably sits around all day playing G.I. Joes, not even fully realizing the power he wields. He's just on one big ego trip, he and his father. This is a family that is so worried about what other people think of them, that when Bush Sr. was in office, Newsweek wrote an article about him and called him a 'wimp' repeatedly and Bush described it as one of the worst moments in his life. These are people want to do all of the pushing, and never receive any resistance, and to most Americans that's 'strength' LOL.

We deserve whatever we've got coming to us. We allowed a criminal into the White House by almost electing him to back to back terms, and that ought to tell you that almost the majority of voters have such a screwed up moral compass that we don't even know when we're voting for a complete fraud with an I.Q. lower than most of the people on this website. Neocons want to sit around all day bashing Barack Obama because of who his pasteur was, and some guy he sat on a board with, but can't have one bad thing said about them, without getting all up in arms, meanwhile doomglooming over the apocalypse. We'll all sit around and believe their hype and all their little tidbits, because it's convenient. Obama says Americans cling to guns, and by November that will have turned into Democrats will take our guns away, and we're too godd*mned ignorant to investigate for ourselves.
