But the senate was republican controlled when bush was president. HE did ALLOW our military to invade IRAQ when the culprits who bombed the world trade center WERE known Saudi's including Bin Laden. HE changed health care reform and introduced NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND which i applaud him for. wasnt that a waste of money. when his own party told him that the war in iraq wasnt going well and to end it, HE didnt want to. HE tried to sell the ports of Dubay to Arabia . It doesnt matter if he had senate approval or not, he still fucked up pretty bad. He sat down for 7 minutes when they told him we were under attack. Ive been hearing it alot on the news that he is or may be the worst president in history, but apparently there wrong.

Personally I think he (or Cheney) was a great president, and did what needed to be done.

Namely sending the country to war. I think if Gore had gotten office, we would still be sitting on our butts.

So why did we go to war?

In retaliation of being attacked.
