XT repeats the Bush lie… “the AUMF was the instrument he (Bush) used” but cannot even try to explain how Bush was in fact ‘enforcing UN Resolutions’ when he used military force to bomb and invade Iraq in March 2003. Bush could not have used the AUMF as an instrument if he didn’t do what the Instrument directed him to do. If Bush ‘used’ the instrument of the AUMF then he would have ‘enforced all relevant UN Resolutions regarding Iraq’ and that would include 1441 which would have included waiting a few months to see those inspections resolve the disarmament of Iraq peacefully.
Why did you butt in on the Bush Library thread that was about contemporaneous news just to complain about something that I wrote in response to a war supporter?
And then it turns out you were the freakin’ nit-pickin’ factless fool that had it all wrong… but you ran away without defending or admitting your ignorance… Just like your ignorance in March and April 2003 when you supported the invasion that Bush had just kicked off.
Yes you supported it. But when you saw it going badly… then you didn’t.
You are a squeamish unprincipled nitpicker.. who does not fool me.
So go skedaddle back to where you’ve been hiding since you have never demonstrated that you have anything to say that is right or informed.
It has been at least ten to one against me here and I am doing just fine.
If you wish to make it eleven to one… let’s see what you got.
Just bring facts and reason.
You had none shortly after Bush launched the invasion. Your ignorance of what the UN inspections accomplished in the first few months of 2003 is enormous. It is massive ignorance. And you attack my knowledge of what happened?
Bush’s lie was not about the WMD, XT. IT was that he wanted to disarm Iraq peacefully, but he didn’t. And the lie that covers that lie, is the LIE that Iraq was not cooperating with the UN in 2003.
I see why you are sensitive to letting the truth get out that Blix said Iraq was cooperating proactively for at least a month before Bush invaded.
You are a damn fool sucker for that lie from Bush. You were a sucker back then. An uninformed damn fool sucker who has no excuse because the cooperation by Iraq was easily found if you searched for the facts instead of believing Bush’s and all the pro-invasion propagandists’ lies.
But suckers like you can’t admit it. You just hit and run attack those who were engaged and informed at the time and are much better informed now than you can ever be.
