Japan and Germany declared war on the US. Iraq did not. 

Cheney, W's puppet master,  said Iraq was involved in the 911 attacks. He lied! He said we would be greeted as liberators. Another lie! He said democracy would spread across the Middle East. Yet another lie! Instead we got the biggest foreign policy disaster since Vietnam 

Bush said the United States of America does NOT torture. A pack of lies!

Wasting money on stupid wars, certainly does have bearing on a discussion about debt, deficit, and what we can afford to do in THIS country. We should be doing nation building at home, NOT in the Middle East. 

What good is a health care system that leaves millions of people uncovered?
