The world knew there were WMDs in Iraq because the U.S. and the U.K. gave them to Iraq through believe it not, Israel. During the Iraq/Iran War, we strongly supported Sadaam because the Ayatollah had to go. It's not the fact that we miss Bush so much, it's kind of like trading in your '90 Honda Civic for a '76 Pinto. Of course you're going to miss the Honda.
**Only the older folks on the board will understand the Pinto reference.

2. You know that Sarah Palin is... well.. Sarah Palin. Why do some republicans still like her and want her to run for president again even though she really doesn't know anything about anything?
|
I'm not a huge fan of Palin, but she did school Obama on Russia. Obama was so strongly opposed, he used it as ammunition in his campaign ads and in the debates. She knew that. Oh, and I'm sure she knows how to submit a budget.

3. The 2 questions above might be easier to answer, so I'll throw this one in. Why are some people afraid that "Obama is coming for your guns" even though gun ownership is protected by the constitution?
|
Because he's done SOOOOO much to make us feel comfortable that the Constitution is still relevant. I'd venture to say that he's done more unconstitutional things than any POTUS before him. I didn't fact check, but I'd be willing to put my house on it.

4. Why do so many republicans buy into the idea that the EPA, which is bound by law, to force companies to stick to rules and regulations to prevent pollution, think that it is a job killer? Just because Fox News says "EPA" with disdain and associates "Job Killer" with the EPA does not even begin to make it anywhere close to being true.
|
Because the EPA is no longer an administrative branch that investigates and inspects environmental quality and regulations. Now they're an armed branch of the U.S. Government. Why does the EPA need a full on tactical force armed with the same combat gear U.S. troops have fighting terrorists all over the world? And just like the IRS, the EPA is being used as a weapon, or a tool by this administration to further their agenda and punish those who don't fall in line.
