If everyone agrees war was mistake, shouldn't someone be held responsible?

[kentuck]

Are we too busy to do that? And what kind of mistake was it? Forgot to add a zero to the bank deposit? Went to the movie at the wrong time? Made too much turkey for Thanksgiving Dinner? When you generally think of "mistakes", it's usually of a minor nature, right?

So when these Congressmen now say it was a "mistake" to invade Iraq, aren't they using the wrong words? Wouldn't "debacle" or "blunder" be better words to describe what has happened in Iraq?

1. Yes--each and everyone who contributed

to the mistake needs to be held accountable. I told one Senator's fund raiser that the purse was closed at my house because of the Iraq War vote. Also, no volunteer hours will be forthcoming. Of course, there will be a reversal in my attitude once I see a turn-around in behavior.

2. I can't tell you how many times this has crossed my mind....

Why isn't someone being held accountable for this mess? People are dying, why aren't we holding someone responsible?

8. Because everyone that has the responsibility to hold the architects

of this clusterphuk accountable are, themselves, guilty. They are all mass-murderers and, deep in their souls, they know it.

3. yes-the president of the united states of america

has sole responsibility for this war.
the shame of this country is what we are responsible for.

4. The war was no mistake.

It was a premeditated crime. The perpetrators should be tried for war crimes, not for negligence, which would be appropriate were the war a mistake.

10. It's been PNAC's goal since their inception.......

that's why it was so important to have "*" installed as President. Then came Cheney's "energy summit" that no one is allowed to see the minutes of. They had Iraq carved up like a Turkey before 9/11 was a gleam in Mohammad Attah's eye, but he and the rest gave the PNAC gang perfect cover for implementing their plan.
But things didn't go quite the way they were supposed to, except the raping of Iraq's natural resources of course. The war for oil got WAY out of hand and many more people died than were supposed to, but hey, if you want to make a PNAC omelet you have to break a few eggs, right? :grr: Rotten bastards!
You're right, it was no mistake. It wasn't supposed to get this bad, the Bushies made a few mistakes :eyes: but they got their oil. You can be sure that they won't leave that country until every last drop has been pumped out either so we can expect many more of our soldiers to die before the pack up and leave.

6. Yes any other pres would be very angry and firing staff right and left.

* going around saying faulty intelligence, shouldn't some heads roll?
Shouldn't he be horrified at the death count? OK I forget he is not normal. A complete psychopath.
