NONE of the Architects of the Iraq War have been punished

[ck4829]

Even though they said...
It wouldn't cost hundreds of billions of dollars (WRONG!)
We would find weapons of mass destruction (WRONG!)
We don't have to worry about post-war Iraq (WRONG!)
We'd be in and out in a matter of months at most (WRONG!)
We'd be greeted as Liberators (WRONG!)

None of the people who were behind the Iraq War have not fallen from grace and none are in trouble of any kind.

In fact, several of the architects are now influential in their own ways. For example, Paul Wolfowitz is President of the World Bank (How long he stays there is up to the fine people at the World Bank).

Tinfoil hat time - It almost seems as though BushCo's mission WAS to turn Iraq into a failed state. Why else would the absolute Failures who were behind the war still be in power?

1. Punished? They've been rewarded in most cases!

[ixion]

And it looks like they were right.

[Monkeyman]

5. They've been 'Turkey farmed'. Promoted and transfered. nt

6. I now call it..The Iraq Mistake.

Calling it a war makes it sound legitimate.

7. My conservative co-workers think these people are patriots!

I tried to explain some of the wrong doing to some conservative co-workers and all they could say was that I was full of shit!

8. It's not illegal to write the PNAC. And of course he wanted a failed Iraq.

A failed state means no one else can get to the oil. The world wide economic playing field cannot be leveled by playing fair. A third of a billion lazy Americans versus a billion hungry Chinese. And that's just a quick and stupid glance.

I think Bush thought he could own America, also.

But aside from my comments, you're absolutely right. But it didn't start with Bush. It started at least as far back as Raygun. Without a media, we can't even play the game. It's like trying to fly an airplane with blinders on.

It seems obvious to me. If China and India are just starting to turn on their hot water, and Iraq is one of the last places that has the fuel, and our economy is slow, then smash the fuel pump.

9. Were any Vietnam War architects?

Wasnt alive yet, just curious if this is just how it always has been when the gov't sends us into a dumbass war.

10. Punished? Won't happen unless they travel alone

outside the U.S. after they leave their positions.
