Because liberal people have the tendency to not think through things before acting, I'd like to challenge some of their accusations of Bush and the Iraqi war that I frequently hear, being that I live in a liberal infested state:
One:
"The only reason Bush went to war was so he can get oil"
Yeah, ok- he convinced congress to go to war for oil, and pretending for a moment that that was the case, it's not like the oil would be in reserve for Bush for the rest of his life.
Two:
"But Bush said he went to war to find WMD's. But there were none."
OK, lets think about that for a moment. This could very well be what happened: You are Saddam, and the UN (with one of its members being the most powerful nation in the world) asks you if they can check out your country for WMDs. You say yes so as not to look suspicious. Then in between the time UN schedules to go in and the time you said yes, you start shipping your WMDs out somewhere (possibly your good friends, the Saudis). UN says 'OK we're coming in!' But you're not done, you need more time, so you tell them 'no'. Then in between the time you told UN to FO and the time Bush (congress too, some liberals including Kerry and Republicans voted for the war) you get the rest of your stuff out. No WMD's.
It could have also been played out like this (I'm exagerating a little but the point comes through):
You're some Iraqi soldier sitting in the desert making a sand castle or practicing your war cry, when you see Baghdad go up in mushroom clouds. Uh-Oh! US is bombing our ass! What do you do?
A. Wait for US marines to come kick your ass
B. Take your trucks of WMD's over the border and you're home free!
And if you think these are stupid then I challenge you and 89,999 of your liberal friends to search a hot desert country (which I hear smells bad) for WMDs that are probably already shiped out. And you get to use the weapon of your choice (flowers, and peace signs are aloud) and see how easy it is while in the meantime insurgents ambush you. Have fun!
Isn't there evidence from mass graves containing thousands of Saddams own people kind of give some clue that maybe they had to use WMDs to kill them all? No they took a thousand of them out back at a time and shot them one by one Even if they were shot down, I would consider someone who uses his power to kill thousands of his own people a weapon of mass destruction anyway.
Three:
"This war is not in the interests of the majority of Americans"
OK- explain to me then why Bush lost the pop. vote in 2000, only winning by electoral votes, then four years later, won the pop. vote when, if the war wasn't in the best interest of Americans, we could have just easily voted for the Kerry Fairy and gone home.
