Lindsey Graham on GMA: "This is not George Bush's war"
Oh really?

I guess he was forced in to it by evil libruls, or the UN, or The Clenis, or etc. etc?

Poor George, not in control of his presidency. :(

Bush: Iraq Invasion My Responsibility By JENNIFER LOVEN, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - President Bush said Wednesday the responsibility for invading Iraq based in part on faulty weapons intelligence rested solely with him, taking on the issue in his most direct and personal terms in the 1,000-plus days since the war's first shots.


"It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong," Bush said. "As president, I'm responsible for the decision to go into Iraq."

7. "turned out to be wrong"
Yeah, right. He knew it was bullshit three years ago, he's just trying (again) to make us believe it was the secret squirrels' fault. Nothing new to see here...move along. /barbrady

2. if graham is trying to hold me responsible
for killing all the Iraqii civillians, he can go to hell

I didn't vote for bush, pnac, or this war, they did, and they did NOT represent me

They have the blood on THEIR hands, and that includes some democrats also, along with the MSM

3. this is lindsey graham's war ... it gives him a chance to strut his marine
service, wear his gala uniform, and hook some of his medals on to his chest.

because, this is certainly not my war. it is not being fought in my name. i did not want it in the first place. i still do not want it.

4. our soldiers are not dying to protect this country either.
there is/was no threat from iraq -- there is no honour in dying or being maimed, wounded or anything else in this invasion.

6. I disagree about honor
There is honor in the service the troops give and honor in the sacrifices they make for each other. If they are sent to war by evil men, the blame is with those that sent them.

13. Absolutely right. When they are called to serve, they have few,
if any, options other than to go where they are sent and perform the duties that they were trained to do. Let the blood spilled be on the hands of the men who made the decision to go to war, not on the hands of the troops who have been sent to carry it out.

14. Our troops have fought honorably. The dishonor rests on the
men who sent them into this war to bolster their egos.

15. It is honorable to serve in our military. All swear to defend our
Constitution. If the Commander in Chief says go, they go.

16. Got that right
Honor is available for doing what's right, not following immoral orders. And jail might be the price that has to be paid, but I personally would prefer to be incarcerated when it is criminals who are free to make our country's decisions.

9. Agreed
This is the PNAC-Neocon War sponsored by Halliburton, Bechtel, Exxon and Palmolive -- don't forget Polmolive softens your hands while you do the dishes. (Sorry bout the Palmolive part -- I couldn't resist. It makes no sense except to me and a few friends)

And Lieberman says we are snatching defeat from Victory.
I guess we must endeavor to persevere.

17. Bush said he was responsible...thousands dead, $500 billion gone
making that region more unstable and leaning
towards a theocratic state with strong ties to
Iran.

and no one is going to bail him out this time
for his huge mistakes.

Impeach.
