Answer 1

Myth:the idea that Saddam Hussein didn't have the ability to obtain weapons of destruction.
Myth:the idea that 2,500 American soldier deaths is a "bloodshed."
Myth:the idea that Hussein's atrocities weren't a good reason for us to invade Iraq.
Fact:The Iraqi people aren't thankful for what we've done, so we should take all the oil from their rich oil fields so that way prices back home are below $1.50 a gallon, and we should just let them kill themselves.
Fact:Since Bush got tough on terrorism, there have been precisely ZERO attacks on U.S soil, as opposed to the 6 or so under Clinton.
Fact:Congress has the right to curtail civil liberties in a time of war according to the 1919 ruling "Stenek vs. United States," and that is what they are doing by listening to our phone calls and reading our email. Be thankful they aren't taking away your right to protest this war, because Lincoln, Wilson, and FDR illegalized protests of their wars!

Answer 5

Saddam gassed the Kurds killing countless numbers of guys, females and youngsters. For that on my own we had been proper in taking him out (Geneva conference of 1925). I for one may have a exceptional glass of wine on each and every thirtieth of Dec. This in party of his execution and thanking George Bush for having the ethical braveness to do the proper factor!
