Did you see this video of Bush announcing the invasion of Iraq. The part starting about 2:57 through about 3:20 is where he states the specific reason for the urgency of his action.
My follow up question is..given what has transpired since that speech, do you think the Iraq invasion should have happened? Do you think the occupation since then is justified? I am merely asking questions in hope of getting citizens to express themselves about this. I know that my mere asking a question that asks for thoughtful intellingent response is an affront to some, but I will risk it and ask anyway.

speaking strictly factually it sure sounds like he basically is saying he is invading Iraq so that we do not have attacks using Iraq's WMD on our cities. I think we all can agree on that ..right?

In other words we are invading Iraq
2007-09-15 09:58:21 · update #3
because there was a clear and present danger ...a threat to our cities so imminent and so real and convincing and undeniable that we had to do what we had to do...right?

He's a liar and a war criminal, no doubt about it.

It was simply government propaganda used as justification to invade a country for the purpose of creating a positive environment for globalist corporations.
The attacks of 9/11 by Muslims and the presence of Sadam Hussein, a murderous thug, made it a fairly easy sale.
There was no imminent danger of an Iraqi attack, though.
A 'slam-dunk' case for an invasion of Saudi Arabia would have been justified and FACTUAL.

Anybody with any sense didn't think it was justified then, and still doesn't. When faced with the thought of being called "soft on terror" and losing elections, the democrats caved like a house of cards and gave this psycho authority he never should have had...
Truly a sad chapter in the history of our country.

yawn.
Just give it a rest. Turn off the BBC and CNN, as well as Al jezeera. It is brain washing you.
