People who cant think beyond their own noses are the jokes.
Consider this - the Dems voted overwhelmingly to give Bush the power to liberate Iraq and Afghanistan, they voted overwhelmingly to allocate the funds for the operations and they continue to fund those operations to this day.
Would they act that way if they knew they were using real money? That spending on, say, liberating Libya would mean proportional reductions in their government giveaway programs here? If it meant cutting into the funds (an end to the endless imaginary money) they use to buy votes?
I seem to recall the President telling us that Iraq had "Stockpiles of Weapons of Mass Destruction..." which meant "...Chemical, Biological, and Nuclear...". And that he had the systems set up to launch devistating attacks on those in the middle east (i.e. Isreal, Saudia Arabia, etc) and potentially beyond. And that was the number one (of several reasons) for the invasion. Likewise, we, as Americans were told that the administration had a "...well documented plan for dealing with Iraq after Saddam is gone.".
Likewise, we the American people believe, NO ONE, would lie completely on things, given the all to 'recent' lying from former President Nixon and Clinton. BTW, when was Clinton's administration there, Sanity? Oh yeah, the term BEFORE Bush's! Yes, we thought (foolish us, right?) that a Republican could be able to back up his bullshit with hard evidence. As the evidence turned out to be total crap and lies. What made it really curious is the Republican Congress didn't hold Mr. Bush to an ounce of accountibility. That's right, Sanity, WHO controlled CONGRESS in 2003? "The Grand Old Party" is the correct answer. Democrats were in the minority of both houses. But than, that's ANOTHER fact that you have conviently forgotten in your tirade.
As it turns out, the Republicans started spending for both wars on borrowed money (again, because they controlled both the House and Senate). Not an ounce of consideration to how things were being handled the whole time. Back in 2002, the Bush era tax cuts where in place, creating that HUGE deficit we have today. Again....where was the outrage of 'fiscal conservatives' on that issue? The answer is "non-existant".
The plan for Iraq was about as floppy and irrelavent as it got. It was a silly document that was put together by "the best and brightest, in each of their fields". The truth was, the document's 21 industries, except for one (hint: How did the Bush Family make its fortune?), were not put toether by even the modestly intelligent or educated of their field. There were problems all over the place, that required MORE money to be spent there. After all, in 1999, (and several times in that year), then, Gov. Bush declared "I will not NATION BUILD".
There was so much lying going on in that administration, it was simply insulting that not a single Republican took the President to task over his words and actions. Heck, most conservatives didn't hold Republicans responsible for what happen (they were the ones that wanted Sarah Palin as VP....).
Should we bring up all the other lies from the Bush Administration? In Energy? In 'No Child Left Behind'? In 'Defending the Country from Terrorists'? How about all those illegal immigrants that walked in during his administration?
You want to talk about people who cant think beyond their noses? Try the ten or twelve candidates for the GOP president's ticket? Please Sanity, show me 'indepth evidence an analysis' that shows Rep. Michelle Bachmann would be a good president? Yes, the leader of the Tea Party that just recently...FUCKED...over the United States. The best 'Grade A' bullshit on the planet, Sanity, is found in the Republican/Tea Party camp. They may have the best bullshit this side of the Milky Way Galaxy!
