Here is my view of how the Bush administration went wrong. Okay after 9.11 we immediately went after the people we believe and know to be responsible Al Queda (I think that is how you spell it, anyway), we invaded Afghanistan overthrew the Taliban and had Osama Bin Laden cornered in the Afghanistan Mountains. But somehow, a 6ft. tall Arabian male on dialysis was able to outmanuever or armed forces! Secondly, once everything was wrapped up in Afghanistan (when I say wrapped up I don't mean to sweep under the rug everything that our forces continued to deal with and still do to this day) we made Iraq a priority. First it was for weapons of mass destruction and that is what we invaded on. Once we were there and we could not find any WMD's we made the cause for invading Iraq a humanitarian one. Then once the situation in Iraq went from bad to worse, we switched the reason for why we went into Iraq again this time to establishing freedom and democracy in a middle eastern country. Now we find ourselves in a war that can best be described as a quagmire because when we start to reduce the amount of troops in Iraq something occurs and we must put troops back in to keep the country from destablizing; this time it may be because we are all hearing about 'civil war', whatever the case maybe we will probably not be able to leave Iraq for some time and it is this slow, arduous war that is hurting the President, Republican congressmen and woment and House of Representatives candidates for the upcoming election in 2008. Well this post has stretched on longer than I anticipated, but this are some of my opinions on the subject. Thank you.
