So its possible I was tricked into supporting this war in Iraq.
Wasn't just Bush. Clinton always talked about how Iraq had WMD and was an imminent danger and
remember i have now admitted i liked Bill Clinton. I think he was possibly the wisest president we have
had in the last 30 years other than Reagan. Then Bush began talking how they had WMD.
I don't think Bush lied, I truly think he believed that. If this story was cooked up anywhere I think it was
at the Pentagon and possibly they were told to cook up the story by Cheney. I've never like Cheyney, never
understood why Bush chose him to run as his VP. So maybe the WMD was cooked up at the white house, all bush
had to go by was the evidence he was presented and after 9/11, i did agree if you were a danger to us, we should
take you out. Now add to it that Saddam kept tossing out inspectors and then allowing them back in a month later and
that even more convinced me that he was moving the WMD before allowing inspectors back in to his country.
I never much followed politics so perhaps i was a gullible goose that got pulled in.
Another reason i don't think bush knew if all this was cooked up is because i don't think any president in
his first term would risk his presidency and start a war on a lie knowing he was doing it.
and i'm not still totally sure Iraq really never had WMD, don't think we will ever know.
But hey, 9/11 happened and perhaps i am a redneck cowboy and was ready to whip the shit out of anybody because of
9/11. I've always been the type before someone hit me, I'd get the first lick in if i thought a fight was gonna happen anyway.
But I supported the war, based on evidence i heard, tons of democrats did also but one thing about me, i don't tuck tail and run. We are there now, we best try to get the damn job done instead of running, turning the country over to terrorists and appearing weak before the world.
And as i've said before, if somewhere behind closed doors in some mystery government building, our leaders figured we need to attack someone just to display our military might......or if they knew if we didn't take iraq out now they would be a problem later on...well after 9/11 i could have accepted that also.
anyway......i am a redneck cowboy. but i'm cute as fuck sometimes.
