Bush got us in a war for no other reason than revenge.
Speculation/Conspiracy Theory
It's more like a personal opinion. Back in 2000, before he was appointed president by the supreme court, I told my wife that if he was elected that one of his top priorities was to take out Saddam. I knew that because of one of the things that was considered his father greatest failures was not taking him out. So Bush jr wanted to finish what his daddy failed to do. Also Saddam put a hit out on his daddy, so it became even more personal. He JR was appointed , his whole cabinet were top military men. He knew what he wanted to do. He used the blood of the people that died on 9/11 to settle his score. He put more effort in Iraq than Bin Laddan. If he had put half of that money and effort in Afganastan, Alqeida and Bin Laddan would be dead and gone now. I think this makes him guilty of treason, and the penalty for treason is death. I think every person that lost a family member on 9/11 should be outraged by what he has done.

More like the people that killed 4,000 Americans went into hiding in caves and other bordering countries.
And then bush turned his back and used the terroist attacks to attack Iraq. He still let them go.

True, but bush economic policies has taken a huge effect on our country. He's backrupt every business he's ever ran. He headed an oil company that couldn't find oil in Texas. When he owned the Rangers, he traded Sammy Sosa. Now he's almost ran our economy into the ground.

Your opinion is based on spite, hatred and emotion and not reason.
Yes my opinion is based on spite, hatred, emotion and reason. I've stated a few reasons, but I have plenty more. Some of them personal.

Explain why his voting record is less with Bush, while Obama's is 96% with his party. Also it isn't news that McCain and Bush have had it out in regards to policies, especially with Iraq. Your attempt to tie McCain to Bush is nothing but groundless Obama propaganda.
Here's the way MSNBC put's it.
The DNC chairman contends that McCain is, in fact, “as conservative as they come,” and his administration would preserve “the radical right’s hateful social agenda.” He adds, “Like President Bush,” McCain follows a “shoot first, ask questions second” foreign policy strategy, supports tax cuts for the wealthy as well as corporations that ship jobs overseas, and promises to appoint “Bush-style” judges who will overturn Roe vs. Wade.
Bush was dealt with a lot in his 8 years,
Oh poor bush jr. He created most of what he has went through by invading Iraq.
and people like yourself forget what this country has been through
Dead wrong. I remember what we have been trough. We were attacted and Bush turned his back on the American people.
He made it his mission to keep this country from another attack,
No he made it his mission to take out Saddam. It was eight years between the first Trade Center attack and 9/11. So I guess Clinton did a great job of preventing another attack too.
I know that our problems run deeper than Iraq, but Iraq made everything A LOT worse.
Bush's own party has turned against him. They didn't even want him at the republican convention.
I think right wing Bill O'reilly says it best.
