The reasons for the war in Iraq keep changing- it was claimed Saddam was involved with 911, then it was claimed Iraq had WMD they were ready to use, then it was claimed we were bringing freedom to Iraq.
have any of these claims been proven true? If so- is there proof?

The WMD were there and some were found, just not in the quantities that satisfy your expectations. Bush and Cheney never tied Saddam to 9/11, the media did that for them. If you look at all of their speeches leading up to the war never once did Cheney or Bush say "Saddam was involved with 9/11". Iraq had used WMD on their own people as you would know if you were watching the trial of Saddam, so WMD did exist. Liberation is different than Freedom. The people of Iraq are Liberated from Saddam's rule. The problem is (just like in the U.S.) there are resposibilities that go hand in hand with Freedom, but the people of Iraq do not understand that they have a responsibility to take assist in causing the conditions for their continued Freedom.

I hope you can keep an open mind to the following. The only statements made regarding Saddam, and 911, was that he harbored terrorist. I have yet to see in print, by anyone, that he was involved in that tragedy. Also , just last year the U.N. investigators found physical evidence of numerous sites where W M D's were stored. Not only the actual sites, but Iraq documents(proof of lading) of how, and when they were transported to Iran. Then your last Question I would have to guess as rhetorical. No one can bring freedom to any group, or country, it is a philosophy based on democracy. What was accomplished, the removal of a dictator. whether freedom of all these citizens from a dictatorship will be left to them! And if you feel you would like to ask provocative questions, please don't identify your sources as IT!

Well, the 17 UN Resolutions were true.
The FACT that it was United States Policy, instituted by Bill Clinton, to remove Saddam from power was true.
Stop with all this BS. Hindsight is 20/20. How about we deal with the hear and now and work to find a viable solution to this whole deal.
The past is history, it's gone. What we have is Now. Let's do something with that before it's too late.

The proof is people are killing and getting killed over there, for what the spin doctors not excluding Mr. Beat around the Bush have determined that we should look at it as a fight for democracy and patriotism.
Okay so we say don't piss down our backs and tell us it's raining. Still what change is taking place. All holy hell is breaking out there and there is one huge mthr fckn problem to be solved now.
So where is the proof, who know and whos gonna go looking?
GAWD, I need a drink!

One group reasoned that it was just W's wish to revenge his father for not having gotten Sadam. Even that backfired.

All of these reasons have proved to be false. The American people were blatantly lied to. Is that not enough reason for impeachment?
