Lies?

That we have no plan in Iraq, that nothing is going well.

We do have a plan - any military action has a plan of action after the fighting. We have issued new currency, established citizen groups, set up a council, trained locals for police work.

I could go on and on with the liberal media promoting the fact that we should not have gone into Iraq, that there were no WMD, that the war is going badly. Yet - I don't see any need to. All on this board are very familiar with the liberal media bias.

It all comes down to - would it have been a wise decision to leave Saddam in power and do nothing? Or, would we be merely negligent in ignoring the facts that America is in danger. Frankly, I prefer a president that will insure we are safe instead of guessing and hoping we are safe.

"That we have no plan in Iraq, that nothing is going well."

Cites?

"I could go on and on with the liberal media promoting the fact that we should not have gone into Iraq . . ."

"We should not have gone into Iraq" is an opinion, not a fact. It is not a lie for someone to have an opinion different from yours.

"that there were no WMD . . ."

Defenders of the war have been playing word games with statements like this, in which "were" is ambiguous as to time. No one disputes that Iraq once had chem and bio weapons. Many of them were destroyed after Gulf War 1, and there's no hard evidence the Iraqis have had any since that time. I think it is unlikely Saddam had such weapons at the time of the invasion, since he didn't use them and none were captured.

Of course it has not been conclusively proven that there are no exotic weapons hidden somewhere in Iraq. I don't see how such a negative could be proven. Who has claimed otherwise?

It would help if you would be specific. What exactly is the lie, and who told it?

"that the war is going badly."

Again a matter of opinion.

"It all comes down to - would it have been a wise decision to leave Saddam in power and do nothing? Or, would we be merely negligent in ignoring the facts that America is in danger. Frankly, I prefer a president that will insure we are safe instead of guessing and hoping we are safe."

More opinions, not relevant to your claim that Democrats are lying about Iraq.
