He just put the earrings on the hog....
He portrayed his illegal invasion as equivalent to the terrorist battle in Afghanistan. He still clings to his claim of WMDs in Iraq. He did ask for monetary aid from other nations. He put the sales pitch to the UN. Iraq was a dangerous nation harboring and sponsoring terrorists. He and his friends did the right thing by going into Iraq.

He painted a picture not totally in agreement with reality. He lied again. He did not tell the truth about why he went into Iraq. He gave it his best shot. Somebody please pass him the lipstick.

3. No, he threatened them.
He made it clear that because the old regimes of Afghanistan and Iraq opposed us "they are no more."

5. In other words you agree with Bush*
What Bullshit. If the Democrats can find nothing to say about foreign policy then why should they call themselves Democrats? If you call what is being done in the name of the USA "foreign policy" then I just have to shudder.
