10Bears,
How you doin bud?
To quote your post:
"They would be screaming that there were no weapons of mass destruction and Clinton knew it. He lied to the U.N., to the American people, and he deliberately and unnecessarily placed American troops in harm's way."
If you could have been in Iraq during the war (and I was, so I have some knowledge in this area), you would see that even if we never find WMD it would not matter. Freeing the Iraqi people from oppression was enough. When we liberated a town there were people in tears of joy thanking us. The day after taking a town all paintings and statues of Saddam were painted over or torn down. People were celebrating in the streets.
As far as placing troops in harm's way, we had no problem with this and in fact, most of us welcomed it. (That's why we chose our profession) You don't go into a career in baseball to sit on the bench just like you don't become a soldier to sit back and watch others fight for you. Even the wounded guys in our company still have no regrets. On the rare occasion you hear of a soldier complain it is usually a rear echelon support guy who doesn't even see any fighting. Those of us that actually did the fighting have no complaints about going into harm's way.
As far as President Bush goes, he is the greatest President we have had in my lifetime. I wasn't on a Carrier but I know that a visit by President Bush would have been well worth the extra hour delay that it supposedly took to turn the carrier. These democrats doing the whining about this don't give a crap about the military and don't realise what a boost in morale it was for the sailors on that carrier to have their Commander in Chief pay them a visit.
