Politically, it obviously wasn't a very good move, but other than that? People seem to have forgotten the satellite images-they were hauling something...could this have been the WMD that was gone before the war was started? Aside from that, though, we went in by using the UN resolutions as justification. These **NUMEROUS** resolutions did not state that we could attack if Iraq has WMD, they put the burden of proof on Saddam-he had to prove that he didn't have WMD; that he had destroyed the KNOWN WMD from the 1st Gulf War. He couldn't account for the WMD, therefore, we went in to uphold our side of the resolutions.

sure for John Q Public who has no idea about the reality of threat assesment it looks like we are war mongers. But logical thinking says it was going to happen. If not in Iraq (by the way were not fighting Iraq, we are fighting IN Iraq, big difference) then somewhere else. wheather posession of wmd or not there are weapons that can destory our way of life and their are people who want to get ahold of those weapons to do just that. It takes money to do this and their money comes from oil. We dont take control of it it will be used against us. We also have to exhaust the current monies available to these extremists. This day and age isoloation will not work, look at Spain, London, Denmark so many others. Its not hard to understand if you just try. times have changed and we have to first acknowlege that before its too late.

Bush didn't have any heat on him... Every American knew he wasn't going to let 9/11 just happen.. After 9/11 the entire country was behind Bush, both rep./and dem.
the NYT (which hates the Rep.) just printed a piece about how close Saddam was to becoming a nuclear power and that he helped al-queda... Imagine after all this time of saying other wise , they FINALLY printed the truth.. If he would have been nuclear within a year or two , we would all be screwed.. the man is insane... He murdered, raped, tortured hundreds of thousands of his own people..

Yes it is still a good idea
The terrorist are FOCUSED on fighting the US and UK in IRAQ
which is much better that fighting the terrorists in the US and UK
There is no negoitating with Alqaeda, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Talliban, etc
Aside from the destruction of the West and converting the world to Islam, they have no other vision
They are NOT interested in slowing global warming, better healthcare, equal rights, property rights, internet acces to all, good jobs for more people, clean food and water,

The death of non-Muslims and Islam is all they are about

They want to fight, better in Iraq than in London and NYC

Wow. Spirit is one of the few people to make the connection that Russia, being Saddam's primary source for weaponry, covered their *** by freighting-off all of Saddam's illicit WMDs.

There are some N.R.O. satellite pics I'd like to see.

What heat was Bush trying to deflect?
Did he have a Lewinsky moment?
Iraq isn't Bosnia

Sod man Insane DID have weapons of mass destruction (Russia flew them out to Syria just before the war). He had used them and would have again. YES, it was/is a good war to enter into.
