IronBalls,

OK you want to get the facts straight about the Iraq war: Some not all democrats voted for Public Law 107-243 to give the president authorization based on the lie that Saddam "aided the terrorist attacks that occurred on September 11, 2001..."

Other lies used to mislead congress and the American people include, but are not limited to:

, the "Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq"

“We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories.”

“..there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.”

“Our intelligence sources tell us that he (Saddam) has attempted to purchase high-strength aluminum tubes suitable for nuclear weapons production.”

“The British government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa.”

“We know he’s been absolutely devoted to trying to acquire nuclear weapons, and we believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons.”

“We gave him a chance to allow the inspectors in, and he wouldn’t let them in.”

“The Iraqi dictator must not be permitted to threaten America and the world with horrible poisons and diseases and gases and atomic weapons.”

“We’ve learned that Iraq has trained al-Qaeda members in bomb-making and poisons and deadly gases”

“We have also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas. ”

“We have seen intelligence over many months that they have chemical and biological weapons, and that they have dispersed them and that they’re weaponized and that, in one case at least, the command and control arrangements have been established.”

“We know where [Iraq’s WMD] are. They’re in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south, and north somewhat.”

All of these facts are mute considering your point is based upon your own opinion of how, hypothetically, Barack would have voted. Is your criticism of Barack "Based on everything he's said," or your own interpretation of what he is "bs"ing? Is it one, the other, both or neither? Your organization of ideas makes Sarah Palin sound like a Rhodes Scholar.

IronBalls, (lol)

Patriotism is not measured by flag waving, lapel pins and certainly not from ribbon stickers on the back of "Real American's" SUV's. Brooklyn is a vibrant, multicultural community, and yes, so what if some residents want to celebrate that the rest the US has voted a referendum that the white house is no longer the exclusive abode of white men. Where do you find the temerity to criticize Obama the president, months before he even assumes the office.

"If you really think your higher taxes will go towards....."
"Based on everything he's said, Obama will be a horrible president. This country is screwed."
Numbnuts, Obama has "said" that there will be a net tax cut for Americans.

McCain supported a sustained war in Iraq, 100 years by some measurements. The Iraq war is the biggest "tax and waste" scam ever perpetrated in history, That is of course, with the exception of those who receive deferred compensation from Halliburton.
