The buck stops where?

Our delusional president laments the "intelligence failure" that identified nonexistent WMD in Iraq and admits he was "unprepared" for war.

    @Groenhagen

    Groenhagen: "These nutcases like Horseface will say that Clinton did not lie when he said Iraq had WMD, but Bush did when he said Iraq had WMD."

    You're a really low, pathetic individual. Not too bright either.

    It doesn't matter if Bill Clinton thought Saddam Hussein had WMD in 2001. It doesn't matter what Madeleine Albright thought. It doesn't mean what Billy Bob Parker down at the local 5 and dime thought either.

    Your "B-b-b-b-but what about Clinton!?!" argument is meaningless. It doesn't get Bush off the hook for his FAILURE. Nor does it get you off the hook for your moral failure. You are clearly just a mean-spirited, cowardly fool who can't face reality.

    The reality is that Bush didn't echo what Clinton said. Bush and his team of professional liars made all-new claims about Saddam's dangers and WMD. They claimed Saddam Hussein had trained Al Qaeda bomb-makers, that Hussein had a relationship with Al Qaeda going back over a decade, that Hussein was on his way to getting a nuclear weapon, and that Hussein was in the process of obtaining new bio- and chemical weapons. Not that Hussein still had the old ones from 1989-1992.

    Stop telling lies to support your politics. Stop calling people names because they have more plain sense than you do, too. You're just a lowlife. Grow up.
