1997 Article Quotes Bush's Opposition To Iraq Invasion

Editor & Publisher :

Sig Christenson, a founding member of Military Reporters and Editors who has worked five assignments in Iraq since the war began, reached back some 10 years for a Veteran's Day piece that noted President George Bush's early opposition to an Iraq invasion.

Christenson, who covers the military for the San Antonio (Tex.) Express-News, penned the piece for Sunday's paper that cited Bush's comments on Veteran's Day 1997 as governor of Texas. He pointed to Bush's defense of his father's decision during the Gulf War not to remove Saddam Hussein.

That was before he came under the influence of the evil one—Deeyech Cheney—and the neocon (messo-fascist) cabal. Just shows you how susceptible to impression are the young and stupid.

Doesn't surprise me from the flip-flopper-in-chief. With almost everything he said prior to be coronated by the supreme court, he has done the exact opposite.

Only when it comes to taxes, he did what he said: lower taxes. Too bad it's only for the wealthy, and too bad it has ruined our economy.

Damned flip floppers

Well, I dare say that GWB is a flip-flopper. If he isn't, well then I'd have to call him a liar.

Cheney said it back in 1991: Quagmire.

Why didn't these idiots listen to themselves?

[AlphaDoc]

You mean he was against it before he was for it?
Would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

Silly rabbit. In 1997, oil hadn't yet collapsed to $20 per barrel and Bush had not yet been ordered to manipulate the market and drive up oil prices.
