The President does understand. He knows that the country will not be safe if we pull our armies out of Iraq. The logic the Liberal Democrats are using their Liberal dielectric, just like the Communist did during the Cold War. Blame their opponents for fighting back. Convince the people of the opponent that war is caused by their leaders being thick skinned and hard headed. Which one of you wants him to back off his principles?
It is not true that Iraq did not have WMD's. We know they had them but whether or not there were WMD, Saddam wanted Iran to think Iraq did have them. Saddam hoped the U.N. would allow him to keep pretending their were WMD for fear of Iran. The U.N., the USA. and the USA Congress invaded Iraq because Saddam would not allow U.N. inspections. It appears Saddam feared the vendication that there were no WMD. It was not difficult to fool the CIA into believing Saddam had WMD. No matter who was President, there was a high probasbility they would have followed the intelligence report.
The Liberals wanted to take no credit for the mistake. No lie! Every past president, except Liberal Jimmy Carter, said to Bush, go! Most every member in Congress said go!
It has only been a few years since 9/11, and Obama wants to change the 9/11 mindset of America! Why! The Liberal Press wants a new President that matches their vision of leadership. It has been the Liberals or Communist who have practice scream and blame the President. It was his policies that caused 9/11, they say. That's how they use their logic, the logic of a Liberal.
