Bush did give 3 reasons for going into Iraq. Most countries America called Allies didnt agree with him. So they agreed to disagree, and America with Britains help invaded Iraq.
The Bush administration has offered all sorts of reasons for invading Iraq. The original and primary reason was always the need to stop Saddam Hussein's development of Weapons of Mass Destruction, but that has become untenable. All sorts of post hoc rationalizations have been tried, with new ones appearing more and more often now
When Bush wanted war he told the UN to act, or become irrelivant. Later he complained that the UN wasnt supporting his rebuilding efforts, and most countries which refused to believe the US war cry still will not help.
What he did accomplish was to drive the country into 780 trillion dollars in debt. The currency value has fallen due to the economy being in a shambles. The American people have lost the "blood lust" which developed after 9-11 and support for the war is falling.
This has created an opportunity for countries like North Korea to announce there nuclear power. Iran is nearly taunting the USA to attack, knowing it will not be supported in the 52 states. The war has made Russia wealthy again and they are again spending huge sums on military technology.
Bush will go into history as one of the worst Presidents in history. Most of the rest of the world already sees him as such. The next President will be forced to spend most of his first term cleaning up the economic mess and rebuilding Americas international relationships.

By most do you mean the ones that were on the take from "oil for food"? Because from what i see most of the countrys in the UN were there and are still there. That to me means they agree with us. Are they menial to you that you do not include them in your statement?

The did act, they gave the ok to attack saddam. The reason some others will not help is because they are mad over there lost revenue generator. Not are problem they were dealing with a madman. Who the whole world thought he had and would use WMD's, not just the president mind you who according to your view single handedly manipulated intellegence that foooled the world. Not bad for someone many consider a chimp?

Economy in the toilet heah? Where? Two wars, quite a few hurricanes, and still manages to generate jobs and a properous economy, where are you gettin your info? Wait for the next attack and it won't belong till good times are hear again, LOL.

North Korea, didn't Clinton send them a few nuke reactors? By 52 states going along? Are you thinking of your state leaving the union? Russia at war? With who? You must be talking the war with terrorists, of which they are not a participant of on the front! I know no other front on which Russia makes ones country wealthy again. And if so why you think it OK for Russia to do it but not Bush? Little hypocritical are we?

Well untill you get him impeached he will far no further the clintons slide from grace. As he once said, Bush don't care what the rest of the world thinks, that's why there mad. We can live with it, otherwise he wouldn't be doin it. If it's a repug that stays in power, you'll have nothing but the same song to sing till next time. Try and make it look like a mess but all i smell is roses. You need a little some thing more your opinion saying that it's a mess?
