Iraq?
Friday, February 25th, 2011
DC asked:
Why has everyone in the US condemned Bush for the conflict in Iraq and talk as nobody supported the invasion besides him. Congress took a vote to invade, and Democrats like Clinton and Kerry were part of the majority that was in favor of the invasion. I remember one of the first speeches Bush made about the invasion he talked how it wasn’t going to be easy and could take up to 10 years but that the US would get the job done. Nobody was complaining or had a problem when he said it then, but everyone complains now that it has gone on for 5 years.

What has switched the publics view on the matter so much in only 5 years, and why have politicians flip flopped on the issue? Is it just because they want to look good and say whatever they think their voters want to hear despite what they actually support and believe? If so, then why do people continue to vote for these same people again and again?
