filmpunk,
What bothers me about your post and the media is they only focus on the bad things that are happening in Iraq and anything that can possibly be taken as a negative towards the Bush administration. You never hear about the good things that are going on in Iraq, and if you do it is from a short clip from some Marine Major or Army Captain. MSNBC, CNN, Fox News, etc. focus on the number of people killed, and the terrorist bombings in Iraq rather than talking about the good things American and British soldiers are doing, like getting schools ready for the school year, donating equipment to hospitals, distributing food, water, and aid to the Iraqi people.
I do not think we are the ones being misled by the media. Look at your posts, everything you wrote comes straight from what you learn on the cable news networks or the New York Times...I atleast know that those stories are only part of the truth and the very left of the truth. How can you call the war in Iraq a failure? So far it has been a large success. If there is any failure to be had it is the fact we did not go sooner...WMD are still unaccounted for and missing. I hope they are still in Iraq and that the delays to going to war did not give Iraq time to give them to someone else.
And the difference between Clinton lying about a BJ and getting in trouble is a large difference to Bush's speaches on Iraq's WMD. Clinton knew the exact story...he knew what he did, and still got infront of the American people and flat out lied...not only that he also obstructed justice from learning the truth. In Bush's case, if Iraqs WMD are found to not be true then it is a serious lapse in intelligence that duped not only the President but large numbers of Senators and Congressmen as well. The only person that would not be tarnished would be Howard Dean.
