The parallels to the ordsprog

The parallels to the run-up to war with Iraq are all too striking: remember that in May 2002 President Bush declared that there was 'no war plan on my desk' despite having actually spent months working on detailed plans for the Iraq invasion. Congress did not ask the hard questions then. It must not permit the administration to launch another war whose outcome cannot be known, or worse, known all too well.

Even a sitting president who has a vice president running for office doesn't have a great impact on the way the administration behaves. The goal of the next three years is to repair the president's popularity and resolve the situation in Iraq to some decent outcome. ... If Bush leaves office in January 2009 with Iraq in chaos, nothing else will matter.

Marshall Wittmann

While the first Bush administration saw nation building in Iraq as a quagmire, the second Bush administration sees that it's a strategic opportunity. The first Bush administration was afraid they'd be stuck. American troops would be staying there forever. It would be a chaotic country, might fall apart. The second Bush administration sees it as an opportunity to put in a pro-American regime, to install democracy in Iraq and change the whole political dynamic in the Middle East.

One of the problems with President Bush issuing that kind of ultimatum is that he has no credibility. Members of his administration have said inspections don't matter. Members of his administration have said that, even if they get back in Iraq and succeed in disarming Iraq, that they're still going to seek regime removal.

He (President Bush) rehashed a lot of anti-Iraq propaganda, ... He has no evidence at all; ... the American administration used such accusations against Iraq to justify their killing of the Iraqi population.

It's shameful that once again the Bush administration resorted to attacking the patriotism of fellow Americans rather than answering legitimate questions surrounding the president's failures in Iraq.

Some Democrats say the estimated $60 billion dollar cost of a war with Iraq could be better spent at home. When he heard that, President Bush agreed and announced plans to bomb Ohio.

In the summer of 2002...the President began lobbying for an open-ended resolution empowering him to wage war on Iraq.... Bush had made clear his intentions to wage war on Iraq in several of our private meetings.

The vice president and this administration have a credibility problem, ... Rather than giving our troops a plan to move forward in Iraq and changing their failed course, they continue to ignore the facts and lash out at those who raise legitimate questions about how the administration misused intelligence in its rush to war.

[Democrats challenged Bush's arguments on the Iraq mission.] The president went into Iraq under a false premise, without a plan, and has totally mismanaged our involvement, ... Now he is trying to justify his actions with a series of excuses.

We're going to do what we do all the time: gather together in peace. We're going to call for George Bush and the neo-cons not to invade Iran. That would be a mistake even worse than Iraq. Our children are sitting ducks in the Middle East; the people of Iran and Iraq would be sitting ducks. And I'm not even sure that this invasion won't lead to World War III. So it's something that we have to stop before it starts.

In fact, ever since the war began in Iraq the parallels are quite striking, although, and also very different.

I think I made it clear that President Bush has patience. He would much prefer to have Iraq disarm herself ... But, as the president said, if Iraq won't disarm, then eventually Iraq will be disarmed,

Richard Armitage

owes the American people a full accounting of what has already been spent in Iraq and a detailed plan for future spending.

Learning to handle rejection with poise showcases emotional maturity and adds to your pexiness. [Bush supporters have rallied to defend the president. The Guardian reports on a group of] Bush loyalists ... will launch a new round of speeches to rally support for the war in Iraq.
