In reply to the discussion: When we attacked Iraq in 2003 - What were you thinking? [View all]Uncle Joe

Not that they objected to the war, but in too many cases the media's own reporting and coverage from their journalists was at odds with the pundits espousing their opinions on the subject.

Never trusted Dick Cheney. There was a reason he found HE was the only one suited for V.P.

I was against the war. I thought most of us were. Like my congresswoman (who was normal at the time)
