* took responsibility for NOTHING.

[PurpleChez]

Much has been made about how * took responsibility yesterday for going to war based on faulty intelligence. But even a cursory reading of his statement shows that he really took responsibility for nothing. He admitted that intel was faulty -- which, at this point, is like admitting that water is wet. He then insisted that it was still right for him to have invaded Iraq because, of course, Hussein was a Bad Man. And a Threat to the U.S. And so on. So * is still as much as ever locked in a psychotic state of denial -- in his mind he had made no mistakes, the war is glorious, and the world is now a safer place, thanks to him.

This psychopath and his cronies are a cancer on the white house and on the nation.

1. If you follow recents news

He working towards Iran now.

[Conservativesux]

2. A war on Iran too? From the frying pan straight into the fire, Americans!

Just when you think it cant get any worse with this chickenhawk numbskull and his rich, corrupt cronies.

May they all rot in hell for what they have done!

3. What is scary is this

1) Noone trying to stop him
2) He can declare intelligence faulty but still thinks attack Iraq is correct cause they are a threat.
3) Now he saying Iran a real threat
4) Intelligence say need Regime change in Iran
5) Iran nuclear programme a threat.

War can easily start
Just a strike on Iran so call nuclear site.
Iran will declare war on US
Thats all to it
US officially at war.
Better look up the rules on how much power a president has in times of war.

4. The Intel Was Faulty Because They Chose To Interpret It The.....

way it fit their purpose. He says that he will fix the intelligence now. No need to fix it because it wasn't broke in the first place. They just didn't listen to the Intel folks and made their own interpretations. He will now take credit for fixing a broken intelligence network and claim a win for that as well. How sinister and convoluted.

5. Yup

All know he is lying but yet do nothing.
This asking for some really serious trouble.
All wrong signals being send to him.
Make him think he is untouchable.
Make him think if he wants to attack Iran he can.
DANGER DANGER

6. Yes - * Is Now Setting The Tone And Preparing Us For The Real .......

confrontation. Stay tuned for part deux.

7. After one whole months of beating the drum on Iran

I get very worried.
It is like drumming into everyone brain to accept the inevitable.

[wake.up.america]

8. Look for the IDF to unload on Iran in the form of air attacks.

9. Isreal can do very little against Iran

Yup Isreal has nuke but its not going to do any good.

10. Hollow words

without Deeds.

If Bush wants to take responsibility then
he needs to resign and surrender himself
to a war crimes tribunal in the Hague.

It's that simple,
Without taking the ACTION of responsibility... it's just BS.

[Windy]

11. He said even with the faulty intelligence...knowing what he knows

now...he would still have attacked Iraq! That is just proof positive that the WMD line was just an excuse to sucker the American people. His goal was regime change all along..which all of us who monitor the plotting and planning of the PNAC knew all along!!

He sent young american men and women to die for he and his cohort's warped political ideology.

He should be drawn and quartered!

[NewWaveChick1981]

12. That's what I told my husband last night.

* is using smoke and mirrors to make it appear he accepted responsibility. "Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!"

[Thorandmjolnir]

13. So do I understand this correctly

Is Bush saying that since:

1. Iraq had no WMD
2. No ties to Al-Quida
3. No threat to its neighbors or the US
4. Not in violation of the UN resolutions

He would still have invaded?


And exactly what would be the justification, since regime change is a war crime under International and US law?

If the Democratic Party cannot seize on this humongous opening, there is no hope for them to ever win the argument over the Iraq war.

Remember, the whole exercise before the war was to make it legitimate, to come up with reasons other than regime change.
