Again Repubs are using a clear talking point when questioned on thier invasion of IRAQ, manipulation of WMD intel, etc.
Repubs say: Dems also BELIEVED Sadam had WMD's; and they add "they saw same intel as Bush did".
DEMS must respond to this STRONGLY, but have been failing to do so-
DEM ANSWER must be clear:
"This is non sensical response:
1. CLINTON did not invade IRAQ in his 8 years; and
2. BUSH mislead country and DEMS by WITHHOLDING contradictory intel showing Sadam wasnt a threat, but invasion would be drawn out and costly-
Dems should also add, but are still afraid to do so:
"If Bush wouldn't have mislead us, we would NOT have invaded.
"Its time for a gradual plan for troop withdrawal over the next 3 years"
Dems response that if we weren't lied to "it wouldn't have come up for a vote" as even Harry Reid says is parsing and unpursuasive- WHY WONT DEMS STAND UP- DONT BE AFRAID
