Why shouldn't we trust Rumsfeld, Cheney, and Bush on Iraq ?
When they tell us it is a battle of civilizations and that the "terrorists" in Baghdad are no different from Nazis and the Communists and the Fascists. When they tell us that we have to "fight them over there so we don't fight them over here", why should we doubt them? When have they been wrong?

Rumsfeld said he knew where the WMDs were and Cheney said Saddam was developing nuclear weapons and Bush said they had tons and tons of every known deadly chemical in the world. Bush said the "mission was accomplished" when Saddam was captured. Cheney said the insurgency was in its "death throes". He also said the Iraqi people would greet us with hugs and flowers. Now they tell us there will be "consequences" if we pull out of Iraq? One would think such brilliant tacticians would have seen the "consequences" of what might happen when they decided for a preemptive invasion?? Why shoudn't we trust them on Iraq? Look at the record.

6. What's to trust? They've distorted, manipulated, lied, and made fun of
Americans for years now. Trust isn't even the issue. Its their competency that is called into question each and every single day.

8. Really?
"...'fight them over there so we don't fight them over here', why should we doubt them? When have they been wrong?"

Well, they are clearly referring to the 'terrorists' single-minded purpose in attacking strategic US military targets. You know, like they did on 9/11. :eyes:

That is the stupidest ****ing argument I think I've ever heard. Every time *Buffoon utters that crap, I cringe.

10. I presume Mr. Rumsfeld instead of fixing our military, he had
chosen to criticize our patriotic duty in this country. This most disliked imposing and ludicrous secretary of defense in the history of US of A, should realize that his senile thinking of patriotism is that of his depression persona alone, and not lack of patriotism on our part.
