I'm sure Light was alluding to the Iraq war. That war was started based on untruths and bad intelligence. Time has borne out the truth that Iraq had NO WMD threat to the U.S. or anyone else. The NeoCons of the Bush administration had hoped to invade Iraq even before 9/11. If you haven't read Bob Woodward's books on the subject, I'd commend them to your reading. The facts are indisputably clear now.
Afghanistan was a justified and necessary war. Iraq was in no way connected to Afghanistan and was NOT justified or necessary. The U.N. sanctions had accomplished the goal, but the NeoCons wanted war and they got it at the expense of U.S. soldiers.
I don't know anything about the author you cited here. However, I do clearly remember seeing in a very small article that they did find WMD and the press played it down. I have heard from soldiers that came back that they found evidence of the WMD.
I don't have time to do any research on the subject at this time. But I believe someone is trying to rewrite history again. Seems like if they can rewrite history for nearly a 100 years ago, what would 10 years be for them to rewrite?
I don't trust any politian no matter what party he is a part of. And I trust the media even less, if that is possible.

I get tired of the race card being thrown down in regards to BO. He is as much white as he is black.
I strongly disagreed with Bill Clinton and he is white.
I originally was a democrat and changed to over to the Republicans when the dems lost their original stand for moral issues.
I am losing confidence in the republican party as well and may go independent or libertarian if the party doesn't get it together.
Not sure what you are referring to as unintelligent criticism of the president???
I think he is referring to holding onto a belief when all available evidence points to it being wrong, specifically Barak Obama not being an American citizen.
Every public figure needs to be vetted as thoroughly as possible, but there comes a time when it turns from reasonable questioning to just beating a very dead, very wrong equine.
I write this as one not very trusting of either side.

Absolutely correct. There comes a point when people who question set in stone facts begin loosing credability.

You don't know who Bob Woodward is? He's one of the most respected journalists of the past three decades. He's the Woodward of the Woodward and Bernstein who's investigative journalism began the process of Watergate and ultimately Richard Nixon resigning from office.
His books are respected as very factual accounts of historical events.

How do you handle your hatred for conservatives and both president Bushes' when you stand before your church and preach? I don't hate Obama I hate the immorality he stands for. You need to read l Cor.13 again. You sound like a bitter angry old man. It's very easy to get that way in the time we are living.
One of my best friend is a conservative. His son post on this forum.
I don't hate the shrub as a man. just his policies.
I don't hate you, just think you need help.
Politics are not a subject for church.
You say you hate the immorality Obama stands for yet you defend a proven liar. So much for you morals. Sin is sin.
The republicans have controlled the house and senate for years, so don't tell me they are against abortion. I am sick of so called apostolic that harp on abortion. Abortion is wrong but the scrub and all his republican friends did NOTHING about it.
Old Chennieeee chin chin the VP is for HOMO RIGHTS. His daughter is a queer.

So enough of you blather on morals.
You are right Sin is sin. So why do you support the Democrats?
Seriously though, how about putting personality aside and talk about policies? Dems and Repubs both have a long way to go. I just wish folks on the Hill could keep their word whatever party they associate themselves with. WE need to quite making everything about party and start focusing on what is right and best for our Nation.

Esther, I would have believe that if WMDs had been found in Iraq like they were claimed to be there...the Bush administration would have made it abundantly clear to everybody in the world. That one issue has been a sticking point and a constant source of criticism of him and the administration. I guess I just don't see where the motivation would come from for him to keep it a secret. The press can't play down everything...or anything of that magnitude. I would imagine it would be something that he could discuss in one of the State of the Union Addresses.
The proven presence of the types and amounts of weapons they claimed made war necessary would go a long way toward validating his claims and relieving a great deal of criticism.

My problem is with those that think you have to be a republican to be a christian. These people lie to themselves when they think the Republican politicians are against abortion. Most republicans could not get elected if Roe V Wade was overturned.

Being Republican does not a Christian make! But wouldn't you agree that being for the those who have no principals, morals, or ethics doesn't seems to be all that great either???? Come on Light let's be reasonable, doesn't the current path of the Democratic Party seems to be out of line with the Constitution, Founding Fathers, and Biblical principles? Killing babies is not right, promoting the sin of homosexuality is not right, usurping the God given rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness is not right....is it?
