Also, what else was said when the president said "the buck stops here"? Is this the only aspect of the president's comment that was of use for you in your political games?

Would an LDS background provide a different basis for analysis/interpretation/weighing of information than a born-again Christian and, subsequently, a different result?

Personally, I think he still made the right decision, just based on the wrong "facts".

You see, McClellan doesn't actually say that Bush "misled" us into war, but that HE was misled by others into this war if anything. Of course, if he was misled, so was virtually every member of Congress as well who had the same information. So were also every other nation on earth that said the same thing. So were President Clinton, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, and others. You're saying nothing new that this war was based on miscalculations and false information. But, it didn't originate with the President. J., you’re obviously a product of the mainstream media and left wing print press and haven’t actually read McClellan’s book.

You know, like how the Bush administration "misled" us into the war in the first place, according to Scott McClellan. The Dems may be screwed up, but at least they aren't rubber-stampers like the Repub Congress has been for the first six years of teh Bush administration.

They sort of stretched the facts%u2026and people ate it up. Kind of like the president and his minions lied to get us to support his invasion and occupation of Iraq.
