Why do conservatives keep repeating the lies about the invasion of Iraq?

Yes where is Bin Laden, at Bush's house having cocktails, and barbecue with Cheney, Rumsfeld and all the GOP boys. I am still waiting for WMD's and they don't seem to be coming. This whole thing has been lie after lie. Congress changes this fall, and I hope to see several investigations going on.

Why do self-proclaimed conservatives have absolutely no grasp of history or politics?\n\nIraq has never attacked us.  Ever.  We have attacked the soveriegn nation of Iraq two times completely un-provoked.  The first time we had no alliance with Kuwait and still became involved.  The second we went to war under the pretense that Iraq would proliferate WMD's to terrorists...neither part of that charge makes any sense to an intelligence analyst (myself among them).\n\nWhen those twin towers collapsed on 9/11, the media was immediately handed a culprit within minutes.  The first question that should have been asked from an un-emotional standpoint is "Who benefits?" (que bono?), the "Who did this?" would logically flow straight from this.  Facts are nasty things though, and nearly all "couch conservatives" would rather tout hate speech rather than research an actual fact.\n\nMy favorite arguements:\n1) Bush is big on national security, I feel safer with Bush in power.\n\nFact:  We have over 11 million illegal immigrants in our country and they keep coming and going at their leisure.  Our borders are little more than Swiss cheese.\n\n2) Liberals want to take away our freedoms, they're just like the terrorists.\n\nFact:  The PATRIOTS acts introduced by our Bushie friends have destroyed our constitution by rendering it invalid.\n\n3) Liberals want big government and to waste our tax dollars.\n\nFact:  Under the Bush administration, government spending increased 25%.  This is the biggest increase since Lyndon B. Johnson's administration during Vietnam.  We have also reached a trade deficit with Asia of almost $1 billion just in the first quarter of this year.  Our national debt is now at a record almost $7 trillion.  Under Clinton, we actually had a budget surplus and our national debt was in reversal...wierd for a "criminal" eh?\n\n4) Liberals don't support our troops!\n\nFact:  Veteran's Benefits have been repeatedly cut in the last 6 years to the point where some vets no longer have benefits from Republican introduced bills in Congress that Bush happily signed into law.  Liberals also want our troops to come home to do the job of defending our country, not become psychologically scarred and physically maimed.\n\n5) Bush is "smoking the terrorists out of their holes"\n\nFact:  There are 3 times more "terrorists" in the world today than before 9/11.  Osama himself had been cornered more than once and each time our Special Forces were ordered to "stand down" the moment before capture via mysterious orders from on high.\n\nTo this date, there has only been 1 single (dubious) conviction of an Al Queada member in a court of law for a (potential) terrorist act.\n\n6) Bush is "finding and punishing the guilty party (for 9/11)".\n\nFact:  We spent a total of $9 million to investigate the events of 9/11.  We spent $54 million to investigate Clinton's affair.  ALL forensic evidence (camera footage, building wreckage, financial records, black boxes, etc) has been carted off and sealed and no independent OR government sponsored investigators have been allowed near it.  7 of the 19 alleged hijackers are alive and well in their home countries as of today.\n\nIn short, keep watching your Fox news and your American Idol (the Roman Empire called it the "bread and circuses" approach), save your hate speech for your Sunday school class, and at least do a modicum of research before you spout something you overheard your misinformed parents rattle off.

Because they are ignorant...They rely on the news media for their info and this is not a good source. Ask the men & women that have been over there to see what they tell you. A big change in Iraq since we went over there. We knew it would not be an easy undertaking but it had to be done or we would be in worst shape than we are now.

Asking a conservative to admit they were wrong is like asking a grumpy, insolent driver spiralling down a cliff if they should've taken a left rather than a far, far, FAR right.......\n\n(same results, BTW)

Not really. The fact is those who bash the liberals want the truth to be known. They are sick and tired of age-old, worn out ideas that cost us billions of dollars of tax money and then don't work!

Lying Comes Naturally to Bush & Republicans\nWhenever Republican politicians find themselves in trouble, their automatic knee-jerk reaction is to blame Democrats. If there is nothing to blame Democrats for, they merely make something up - they lie. This is exactly what the Republican National Committee (RNC) chairman, following the lead of his boss George W. Bush, has done and is doing. He is placing the blame of the mean and punitive House immigration bill on the Democrats, when he knows that it is an outrageous lie.\n"To be anti- George Bush is to be pro-American," \n\n I think he's dangerous, and he has to be stopped." \n\nU.S. Troops Killed in Iraq Tops 2,400 <words/latestnews/index.php?id=6682>

It is wrong. The soldiers are the pawns of the bigger lie. \n\n\n\nAsked why a nuclear power such as North Korea was being treated differently from Iraq, where hardly any weapons of mass destruction had been found, [Paul Wolfowitz] said: "Let's look at it simply. The most important difference between North Korea and Iraq is that economically, we just had no choice in Iraq. The country swims on a sea of oil." [Guardian 4/6/2003] \n\n\n Iraq WMD Lies:\nThe Words of Mass Deception\nThe Lie of the Century\n\nGeorge W Bush, March 2002: "F___ Saddam. we're taking him out."\nThe Downing Street Memo, July 2002: \nThere was a perceptible shift in attitude. Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy.\n\n[ The Downing Street Memo for dummies] [Blair acknowledges memo is authentic]\n \n\nMinisters were warned in July 2002 that Britain was committed to taking part in an American-\nled invasion of Iraq and they had no choice but to find a way of making it legal. [Times]\n\nThe RAF and US aircraft doubled the rate at which they were dropping bombs on Iraq in 2002 in an attempt to provoke Saddam Hussein into giving the allies an excuse for war ... By the end of August the raids had become a full air offensive. [Times]\n\nThey dropped precision-guided munitions on Saddam Hussein's major western air-defense facility, clearing the path for Special Forces helicopters that lay in wait in Jordan. Earlier attacks had been carried out against Iraqi command and control centers, radar detection systems, Revolutionary Guard units, communication centers and mobile air-defense systems. The Pentagon's goal was clear: Destroy Iraq's ability to resist. This was war. ... This was September 2002--a month before Congress had voted to give President Bush the authority he used to invade Iraq, two months before the United Nations brought the matter to a vote and more than six months before "shock and awe" officially began.

dreamer (above) that website is pure bull.  It is a typical liberal website that makes accusations and does not provide any evidence of backing it up.\n\nWhy don't you people start researching things for yourselves and stop believing people like Michael Moore without looking into them.  You will find these leftist liberal socialists are lying to you.\n\nPeople like Sean Hannity, and Rush give you sources which you can verify.  The website you posted has nothing but biased opinions with no facts behind them other than their hatred for Bush.\n--\n\nwyldfire (above) , do you think Bush 'fooled' all these people into believing Iraq had WMD?  Did Bush have a master plan, even before he was in office, to convince all the following liberals that Iraq had WMD?  And furthermore, why would all these liberals believe Bush.  They seem to disagree with anything he has to say.  Check out this link:\nhttp://www.davidstuff.com/political/wmdquotes.htm

Iran is no different from Iraq.  They have lied before, they are lying now, and they will lie again.

No, they just cry and moan about how bad conservatives are, but don't do anything...they'll stay right here in the US and keep crying about how the next guy stole the election...actually how everyone they didn't vote for stole the election.\n\nBy the way, I am not conservative, or liberal, but they do amuse me.

The same reasons why the Democrats joined the Republicans in voting to invade Iraq. Your lapse of memory is what will go into some book!

no, but i'll go look that up now.\nthanks\n\n-Nice! \nWhy is it that when anyone points out when someone in this administration lies it's called disrespectful?  Don't you think it was disrespectful to troops to lie  and continue to lie about  why we went to war?!

The libs still won't admit the truth. They love to put their heads in the sand and pretend the world is a loving place.

See you can see they are still all pissed on here... they say the "facts are out there" about Iraq.. .and then they cite a bias blog that has no links to any real facts... \n\nThey say we have no plans... yet Clinton balanced the budget and was close to to making real progress on the debt (which they say was because of a Republican congress, but oh the democratic congress didn't have anything to do with the success in the 80s?)... \n\nnow they are getting close to doubling the debt and Iraq is in shambles and WE have no plans? \n\nIn short... they cite blogs, we site stats... then they get mad when we don't believe the blogs and then they won't talk about stats... \n\nThey think Rush is telling the truth, with no evidence... we like evidence and links... \n\nThey are mad because that's all they have left... it's all they can do... they try to encite fear with "they are dangerous to this country"... look back in history... sound familiar?\n\nmymadsky: Kerry had a VERY DETAILED PLATFORM that dealt with many of these issues... perhaps you should pay attention... I don't see Bush's plan anywhere.... who has the plan again?
