The buck stops where?

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

    @Mark Denney

    The Saudi's have fundraisers on TV for the families of terrorists. They set up Wahabi schools all over south Asia to fuel a fight against infidels. They funded those hijackers on 9-11. They are more responsible for the attack on us that Iraq ever was. We set the Kurds up to be attacked remember and then did nothing when they were attacked by Sadaam. The Iraqis began to torment the Kurds well before the first war with Iraq and afterward and yet we did nothing, the fact is we abandoned the Kurds after the first gulf war. Please. The neo-cons had been planning this since 1998, 9-11 gave them a reason because American's were scared shitless. They wanted to attack any Muslim anywhere. I will repeat again, Iraq did not attack us. If they did not attack us we had no legal reason to attack Iraq, it is a violation of International Law, then we violated the Geneva Conventions. You and I are never going to agree on this. I didn't support the war against Iraq from the beginning, I knew those folks in charge were lying. I worked for the DoE. The folks in the Whitehouse didn't want evidence that disproved what they wanted people to believe. But they did know there was evidence to the contrary and they didn't care. They never will care.
