Yes, i agree. They did it for greed and oil. Haliburton makes billions a day because we went in. And They are buddied up with the Bush administration. It is sad how much power the big corporations have over our government.

If Sierra Club had been successful in their suit against Dick Cheney....we might know the answer!!!!! Remember his meeting with Ken Lay....JUST before Enron's collapse and in the midst of Cali's energy crisis!\n\nThanks to a little duck hunting trip with Scalia...who refused to recuse himself from the case( 2 weeks before it came before the SC).\n\nThe reason why.....it's falls under national security....this administrations catch all for burying documents! It's disgraceful....especially for a govt that's supposed to be transparent.\n\nAnd while I agree there are certainly national security things that NEED to remain secret....this little incident occurred before 9/11.

(Whining) "He lied.."  "He went to war for oil" or you'll get this one: "He's stupid"\n\nI would like to see, myself, if anyone actually has a valid proven reason.  I know there won't be.

In violation of his oath of office, Bush used signing statements to negate laws passed by Congress, not with a veto, but with his personal opinion. Bush, thus, elevated himself above the rule of law that has protected America from becoming a tyranny and made a mockery of the separation of powers that are a foundation of American liberty.\n\nThe notion that Americans can be protected from "terror" by giving up the Bill of Rights(and we have) is absurd. Democrats are complicit in this absurd notion. Too many have been intimidated into voting for police state legislation, because they lacked the GUTS to call police state legislation by its own name. The fact is, some legislation passed during the Bush administration is far more dangerous to Americans than Muslim terrorists. \n\nWith the overnight destruction of civil liberties that were 800 years in their creation, the United States stands at a watershed. If the legislation that has been put on the books permitting spying on Americans without a court warrant, legalizing torture and self-incrimination, and repealing habeas corpus and the right to an attorney remains on the books, the United States will be controlled by regime regardless of which party is in power.

Amanda writes:\n" - Because he is not a liar like Clinton or Nixon, and because there is no reason to impeach him. But most importantly, I believe that he is trying to follow God's will, and help America with all of his presidential power as best as he can."\n\nWhat kind of drugs was this person on?  What didn't he lie about (WMD, domestic spying, FL election. Ohio election...).  Waging undeclared war IS an impeachable offense.  Lying to congress IS an impeachable offense.  Domestic spying IS an impeachable offense.  Covering up a felony and impeding the investigation of it (exposing a covert operative) IS an impeachable offense.  And by the way, sweetheart, getting your knob polished in the oval office is not supposed to be an impeachable offense.  And while some people believe they are following God's teachings, only a very few actually believe they hold conversations with the Almighty.  And these are INSANE PEOPLE!\n\nHave a nice day.  At least a better day than the familes of the 2,500 dead American serviceman, the 20,000 wounded American servicemen, and the 40,000 dead Iraqis.

Surely you cannot be questioning the honor or integrity of the Kennedy family?\n\nI mean, just because old Joe made a ton of money bootlegging and stealing from the stock market... just because one of his sons killed a woman drunk driving... just because his idiot grandson crashed his plane, killing two more innocent women.. just because a grand nephew killed a teenage girl... just because the men of that family are a bunch of womanizing sleazebags...\n\nThat doesn't mean they could be making profits on oil. Shame, shame, shame on you for even suggesting it!

They are defending private profit for multinational oil and infraestructure corporations, by removing the Saddam Hussein regime, which became an enemy of the US once he decided to nationalize Iraq's oil fields in 1990.\nNevermind the fact that the US supports dictatorships in Saudi Arabia or Pakistan, or that during the 1980's, while the Kurds were being gassed, the US armed and supported Hussein, people still don't realize that the "defend democracy" argument is bullshit.\n\n\nMan, I really hate you people. Please don't prove my point! Smarten up!

I've had a long day, so I'm just going with: Because they're f*cking morons with no grounds for impeaching Bush. And yes, they think their constituents are stupid. After all, they were the ones who put them in office. Switched parties? Hell, no. We don't want them.

We were not at war when the policies were set that slammed us into the red, sadly.  It's a matter of a corrupt government that is controlled by special interest groups.  Ask yourself this:  if the energy and oil companies are reporting the greatest profits they have ever seen, why does our government continue to provide them with tax deferrals and outright payments in the form of subsidies?   Just how much has Haliburton made in Iraq?  And why haven't their cost over-runs, which go into the billions of dollars, been investigated?  Then ask yourself what companies the current administration worked for and will return to when they are out of office.   The connection becomes pretty clear.   We are no longer a democracy but a corporate oligarchy.  The citizens select which corporate representative will take power, not who represents them best.

Harry Reid violated the law by lying to congress about a land deal that he made a million dollars on ; then he acted like he can just wave it away with the stroke of a pen . He is a shady weasel who thinks laws don't apply to him-like many radical liberals  . It's not over yet . Many think he should resign . So do I .

Gosh your mouth is so small. I will entitle you to my land deeds\n\nNow the facts about politics:\nIslamic countries have oil. Big transnational companies need oil so they bribe some western governments to produce lame excuses and terrorize the western public so that they can steal away oil, just like in Iraq.

Because they needed a way to manipulate Americans into supporting the long-planned invasion of the Middle East.  The psyops division in the US government knows that manipulating fear and nationalism are key to support for military action.\n\nAmericans would have agreed to attack just about anywhere after 9/11 - so they knew that all they had to do was to tie the attacks to Afganistan (first objective) and then lie about a tie to Iraq (one of the main targets/objective).\n\nThe good news it that we didn't have to wait 40 years for some of these truths to be coming out - the bad news is that the Congress and the media could have stopped the invasion but chose to censor the news/reports so that the agenda could be advanced.  Since the media is owned by corporations who profit from war, it's not really surprising that they would censor the truth about the lies they knew were being told, help to build nationalism and fear and outrage, and NOT investigate the obvious flaws in the official story about the attacks of 9/11...\n\nand of course they depended to a great deal on the general arrogance and ignorance of the American public.\n\nIf you google Operation Northwoods, you'll find that attacking your own country and blaming it on the "Terrorist" nation of the Month (to justify invasion) is nothing new...

I do not agree with it. I think that the President's friends have investments over there and they think that they should use the US army to defend their investments. (Oil)

America is calling for a complete investigation that Bush is avoiding at all cost. Haliburton, Carlyle, and the Bechtel corporation have profiteered trillions, not billions from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars. Bush has some explaining to do Lucy!!!
