Re: W's Responsibilities??
CJY,
It is a troll because you don't care about the answer. You just want a slugfest.
With that said, I'll bite just a little.
For example, it is Bush's responsibility to act on intelligence reports to protect this country. He did. It is not, however, his responsibility to collect the data that is in those reports, he must rely on others. Ultimately he will be held responsible for acting with the info he had. Sooooooo: my point is that the really tired "Bush lied, people died" is misleading and false. However, he is, and acknowledges, responsible for the decision to take pre-emptive action with Iraq because of a strongly held belief (almost unanimous internationally and domestically) that there was a real threat of WMD. And with the threat that terrorism is to all of our safety on this planet, the risk of a madman allowing some other madmen to use that WMD was too high to ignore.
What you and your compatriots do is react with the benefit of hindsight. What the flyin' flip good is that? Did you see any of the playoff games last night? I am pretty sure that you could make better decisions on some of the key plays now that you have seen the outcome of the decisions made. Again, what good is that? People in positions of responsibility are paid to make decisions before the outcome is understood. That is what he is responsible for . . .
So shut the flip up and post something that is not simply to point out that you wish that someone else was making those decisions, which is entirely your desire.
