Many see bush's War as a Mistake. It was NOT a Mistake.

[mopaul]

when they frame the poll question as: 'do you think going into iraq was a mistake?', it gives it a certain legitimacy that it doesn't deserve. it was never a mistake, there was never defective intelligence, or any other plan but to go to war, or wars, as quickly as possible. there have been ABSOLUTELY NO MISTAKES made by the bushnazis.

there is no happenstance in this war, it didn't just happen, it was orchestrated before bush was placed in office by his father, who was owed some great sinister favor. nothing about this administration or it's goals is a mistake, but pre-meditated murder and piracy on a historic level. these guys don't make mistakes, none that they'll ever admit anyway.

1. You are right, it was no mistake - it was a deliberate act of greed and

cowardly malice.

[KarenS]

2. I agree,,,, This War was many many things BUT "mistake"

is not one of them.

[nookiemonster]

3. Chaos by design

We must remember that some evil bastards can be pretty damn smart too.

This was no mistake.

4. You are right.... make it go away with the time old 'everyone can make

a mistake', 'figure out what you did wrong and move on' etc.

The person(s) making the mistake learns. These people won't.

This was one hell of a deliberate, purposeful, and arrogant plan that didn't succeed because of greed and stupidity and unbounding contempt for all people.

A bombastic and cunning group of men and a few women planned a takeover. All the books and university courses to come won't adequately explain why these vile people failed and most of the authors will try to excuse them because they will have their own people writing as many of the books as they can.

No one should ever eliminate the Israel factor in this as well as the make-money-for-certain-corporations factor, plus the opportunity to level the labor field for the world by making us broke and more controllable The never ending desire of the military to try new strategies, toys, and test the enthusiasm for young people to continue the patriotic angle for giving their lives is also a factor.

Think about all the things they did not plan for. Yes, this is a vile project that went wrong. But it wasn't a mistake in the clasic sense of being forgiveable. Never.

8. The big things are this:

They are doing everything possible to ensure future profits for oil companies and the war machine. Creating uncertainty in the region and killing civilians ensures the war is prolonged and that new insurgents are created.

Also, I agree with leveling the labor field. It's easier to lower the standard of living in this country than it is to raise a good portion of the rest of the world's. At the same time, giving the masses some one to hate, ensures they can place the blame on someone else. Hitler had his Jews, bush has homosexuals and liberals.

I think everything is going according to plan for bush.

5. The word is LIE.

Just like them ol' Hitler boys laid it out. "Tell a LIE. Tell a BIG LIE. Tell a BIG LIE often and people begin to believe it."

13. As bu$h himself said,

"See, in my line of work you got to keep repeating things over and over and over again for the truth to sink in, to kind of catapult the propaganda." George W. Bush, Greece, N.Y., May 24, 2005

6. You are absolutely right. It was clearly intentional from Day One. nt

[SammyWinstonJack]

7. bush says he doesn't make mistakes.

He said he can't ever remember making a mistake. Out of his own mouth.

14. Found this gem of a quote on AEI's web site

"Stability is an unworthy American mission, and a misleading concept to boot. We do not want stability in Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, and even Saudi Arabia. The real issue is not whether, but how best to destabilize," Michael Ledeen.

When are they go to put the mfer and the rest of his pals in jail for war crimes? That's what I want to know.

15. Ledeen is evil incarnate

That quote says it all. :argh:

on edit to add this gem:

~snip~

Iraq, Iran and Syria are the first and foremost nations where this should happen, according to Ledeen. The process by which this should be achieved is a violent one, termed "total war," a concept pioneered by the 19th century Prussian general, Karl von Clausewitz in his classic book "On War."

Ledeen's take on this idea is wedded to ideology. In summarizing his book "The War Against the Terror Masters" on the American Enterprise Institute Web site, he writes: "We wage total war because we fight in the name of an idea, and ideas either triumph or fail ... totally." In his reckoning, force is the only reliable strategy to enforce our ideology on our enemies. In the same summary he claims, drawing inspiration from Machiavelli: "We can lead by the force of high moral example ... fear is much more reliable, and lasts longer. Once we show that we are capable of dealing out terrible punishment to our enemies, our power will be far greater."
