Chris Matthews talks to Tony Blankley and Tom Andrews about what Bush's legacy will be in Iraq. Blankley thinks that as long as our invasion ends up being good for US interests that invading Iraq will look like it was a good idea.

  • ww2 metaphor was bad period.

    Hitler was a known danger because of his expansionism, and britain had no choice but to fight him.

    We knew Iraq was no danger to us. We knew Iraq was no danger to anybody at the time. We had international people in there and he was cooperating, even if begrudgingly, which by the way, we also would be acting the same way he was around our top secrets.

    The 2 wars arent comparable in any way imaginable.

  • Typical neo-Barbarian argument: We can't know if it was wrong to lie the country into war until we see the long-term results.

  • How come I didnt heared the word "oil" not a single time in this whole 10 minutes clip about the reasons for USA to get in.

    Oil is the absolute,main, one and only reason for USA to invade Irak. No oil, no Irak war. Simple as that.

  • i've read somewhere that upp to 100 people (civilians) a day have been killed in the war the first 4,5 years so its at least 150 000 people killed, but then again we dont count the people hurt, or the people dying from starvation , sickness and other shit. and also post war, people that will die from uranium that US uses in their ammo(cancer, leukemia) etc

  • This Mr Blankley is full of shit.

  • 100.000 civilian deaths in Iraq since the invasion? Do we have reliable numbers? Last I heard it was at least 100.000 up to over a million.

    Guess a 100.000 is what you may say on mainstream TV.

  • Well said

  • Yes they did. Threw money at everything to break the bank and set up the death of social security and any other 'socialist' program that's not a corporate tax welfare program. While waving a flag and a bible.

  • They got EXACTLY what they wanted.

    What happened to liberty?

  • How scary and depressing. We are The U.S., the shining beacon of truth and freedom. We allowed a very radical group in power to damage us and the world. They knew what they were doing.
