If you find yourself having to discuss the debacle in Iraq with a Bush supporter you will probably hear this comment.... If Gore was President Saddam Hussein would still be in power!!!
Here is the appropriate response.....Yea, Saddam would still be in power, and the UN weapons inspectors would still be in there completing their mission.
The no fly zones would still be in place and the option to remove Saddam would still be there.
The FACT that Saddam was NO THREAT soon enough would have become obvious!Also...100,000+ innocent Iraqi people would still be alive and 1500 American soldiers would be also. Countless Americans soldiers would still have their limbs, how do you Republicans sleep at night?
The US military would still be at full strength and available to protect our interests around the world.
Afghanistan would not be falling back into the hands of the Taliban, the Warlords and the Poppy growers due to lack of troop strength.
Osama Bin Laden would most likely have been caught or killed.
The reputation of the United States would not have been completely destroyed around the world.
The recruiting in the military would still be meeting their quotas.
The National Guard would still be in our Nation and available to protect our homeland.
OIL PRICES WOULD STILL BE IN THE 20 to 30 DOLLAR A BARREL RANGE!
Idiots!
If Later, with a real coalition, we had decided to take out Saddam...We would have listened to the military experts who did extensive planning on how to invade Iraq.
We would have had the support of the world and not been on our own.
We would have kept the Iraqi Army intact and therefore there would have been less security problems and NO LOOTING! Do your research people!
We would have thought enough about terrorist threats to guard the ammunition dumps!
There would have been some terrorist attacks, but with Iraqi army in place these criminals would have been quickly caught.
We would have quickly repaired the infrastructure, and hired the Iraqi people to do the work therefore there would have been NO INSURGENCY.
With the Iraqi Army intact there would have been sufficient security so we could have pumped enough oil and therefore the reconstruction could have paid for itself.
Also...
The energy industry would not have written the energy policy so the environment would still be protected and the California rolling blackouts would never have happened (ENRON) and therefore there would have been NO RECESSION!
The super rich would still be paying taxes so the Deficit would not exist.
We would still have a SURPLUS!
We wouldn't have a President who does nothing but fly around the country cheer-leading for a plan he cant defend.
We wouldn't even remember who George W Bush was by now.
How do you Bush supporters sleep at night?
If I voted for republicans I would be preparing for the day I'd have to explain all this unnecessary death and suffering that I have caused, for no reason... TO MY MAKER!
You evil murdering assholes!
Oh yea, about activist Judges? How bout Bush v Gore, they were active in removing the properly elected President from office and replacing him with the son of the guy who's Dad gave them their jobs or his Dad's old boss. Seems unethical, unprecedented, active that's for sure.
If you look up scumbag in the dictionary there is a picture of a Bush Supporter! Luke 4:23
