Why did the propaganda of the Bush administration work to get us into Iraq?

Genuine Female Behind My Avatar asked:


Iraq was not behind what happened on 9/11. Even Bush admitted this “error” of intelligence on the way out. The passports of those terrorists who highjacked the planes were Saudi Arabian passports. Intelligent people in the USA knew this,and told the truth: that the US went into Iraq for oil. Why did the average person believe that Iraq was behind 9/11 and therefore why are we still in Iraq?

What happened to the Billions sent to Iraq by the Bush Administration?

Thursday, July 15th, 2010
iraq
Reba K asked:


The US flew nearly $12bn in shrink-wrapped $100 bills into Iraq, then distributed the cash with no proper control over who was receiving it and how it was being spent.

The staggering scale of the biggest transfer of cash in the history of the Federal Reserve has been graphically laid bare by a US congressional committee.

In the year after the invasion of Iraq in 2003 nearly 281 million notes, weighing 363 tonnes, were sent from New York to Baghdad for disbursement to Iraqi ministries and US contractors.

Who deserves prosecution over this loss of US funds?

Ky M asked:


I am writing a research paper for my government class in college. I chose Foreign policy as my topic. Is troop withdrawal from Iraq specific enough or can you be even more specific in this topic? Thanks.

What is it about democrats and complete reversals of policy on the invasion of Iraq?

Friday, July 2nd, 2010
iraq
Liberal AssKicker asked:


Do you remember when democrats, led by Clinton, called for regime change in Iraq in the late 90s?

Do you remember how most democrats campaigned for the invasion and voted in favor of it in 2002-2003?

(This is where liberal memories begin:)

Do you remember the 5 years of liberals absolutely trashing America for the invasion and calling for war crimes tribunals against Bush and co.?

And since Obama was elected, where are the protestors? Did the Iraq war suddenly become “cool” again?

How many of you republicans now agree the war in Iraq was the wrong decision?

Sunday, June 13th, 2010
iraq
Lid asked:


I know plenty of democrats went along with it too, so its not all republican’s faults. I just find it amazing how many people will still defend Bush and say Iraq was the right thing to do. Also did any of you republicans oppose the war in the beginning?

How do the young soldiers in Iraq release their pent up tension?

Thursday, June 3rd, 2010
iraq
Little Miss Mary asked:


I am 17, and I have a tremendous amount of pent up tension that I suspect will be with me when I am 18 and 19.

How do the young soldiers in Iraq release their pent up tension when they are so far away from home in a strange land?

How do they satisfy the frustrations of youth?

Why have we stopped hearing about troop casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan since Bush left office?

Saturday, May 8th, 2010

Community Organizer in Chief asked:


None of the networks have been reporting on any of the troop casualties. I had to find out through the grapevine that there were 25 troops killed in Iraq in May.

What was the purpose of invading Iraq the 1st time under Bush Senior?

Friday, May 7th, 2010
iraq
Sarah Palin asked:


We invaded Iraq to help Kuwait protect its oil.
(as if sacrificing human life for oil is a worthy cause.)

and this was Iraq vs. Kuwait.
Didn’t President Washington warn us not to stick our nose in foreign business?

Kuwait’s not even a close ally.

How did the liberal media cause the mishandling of Iraq and Katrina?

Sunday, April 25th, 2010
iraq
Voice of Reason asked:


I see on here all the time that the liberal media is responsible for the perception of George Bush, but all the people I talk to, Democrat or Republican, say they lost faith in him after the way he mishandled the Iraq War and the response to Katrina…Just curious as to how the liberal media caused this to happen?

Why couldn’t we just have bribed every single person in Iraq to concede?

Saturday, February 20th, 2010
iraq dinar
lip11 asked:


We’ve wasted about $300,000,000,000 (billion) in Iraq so far, and we’re no closer to peace or victory than we were 2 years ago.

Our budget for FY 2006 comes to $3,801/Iraqi. Converted to dinars at the offical exchange rate, this is more than double their per person GDP. It’s like spending $92,468 per person in the U.S. Why not just bribe the whole country?
