Two,: Sorry, but this isn\'t a {{Kick The Dog}} moment, because it comes strictly from your personal opinion on the matter.

Two: Sorry, but this isn\\\'t a {{Kick The Dog}} moment, because it comes strictly from your personal opinion on the matter. The Bush Administration did not claim they were going into Iraq for Al Qaeda (unless you count one quote from Colin Powell, and even then, it was a minor point that he raised as a simple possibility). There were reasons to enact regime change in Iraq that had nothing to do with Al Qaeda, which isn\\\'t the only terrorist group in existence, in case you didn\\\'t know. Bush\\\'s foreign policy was never \\\"Go where Al Qaeda is\\\". It was \\\"Go after all threats to the United States and her allies, Al Qaeda or not\\\". So, in all fairness, Bush was perfectly in line when he responded that way. The point was completely irrelevant, if not outright false. So, no {{Kick The Dog}}.

Three, you can find several examples where Bush and co. either scoffed off supposedly shocking information, or even contradicted themselves. \\\'\\\'All\\\'\\\' politicians do this. But, really, it means nothing. It doesn\\\'t change the facts one bit. I don\\\'t like how the Bush Administration handled the war, but, in my opinion at least, that doesn\\\'t negate the cause for the war itself. The entry I removed was completely opinionated, with nothing based in fact. Thus, it does not belong (nor, for that matter, does the other one you suggested).

Four, I don\\\'t care who opposes the war or not. I don\\\'t know about you, but I don\\\'t strive to keep my views in line with the latest opinion polls.

Sledgesaul:

If you are offended by the opinionated post on the Obama page, and feel it doesn\\\'t belong, delete it. Do not add one to the Bush page just to make a balance. These pages are not here for personal soapboxing.
