The reason we went into Iraq, is that the entire world believe that Saddam had weapons of mass destruction. Saddam refused to provide evidence that such weapons had been destroyed and refused to provide the appropriate authorities access to such sites to verify the existence or non-existence of WMDs.
Further, Saddam was in Breach of 12 United Nations edicts concerning WMDs in which each of the 12 stated that if he did not comply, force would be used.
In addition, Saddam had already shown the willingness to use WMDs in the past, and had many times stated that he wanted to see the destruction of the United States of America and had attempted to assassinate a former United States President.
In a post 9/11 world, it would have been dereliction of duty for a sitting U. S. President NOT to depose Saddam Hussein.
Saddam is DEAD!!! There are no WMD's so its over right???????????? Right???????? Oh, wait, we have to still fight terrorists who want the rule of the country, but we want another group to run it so we will stay...and die. Just like we helped another dude in Afghanistan fight the Iron Curtain...oh wait, he was Osama, hmmmm
Yes, Phil, thats exactly how I feel...sheesh, what a dunderhead
Careful, Malv is passing out infractions and You CALLED me a dunderhead and did not say I was acting like one...
Could this be why my dad always told me not to discuss politics with anyone you wanted to keep as a friend until you knew they agreed with you?
I dislike your views and opinions but I do NOT dislike you! In fact I love you and pray that your eyes will be opened by something other than another attack!
I dont think you will get consensus on the above. MANY Al Queda are being killed in Iraq. these people would be trying to get to the USA if we were not in Iraq.
Guess what Ferd, you don't get the consensus that because of freedoms, wealth, religious ideologies, and american political blunders, these terrorists are everywhere not just in Iraq. So, declare war on the whole world now???

2 points, please dont try that "history without context" junk with me it makes my eye twitch. UBL was supported by the USA during the cold war when he was not a threat to America but The USSR was bro. dont pull that. it devalues the converstion and I will yell at someone I respect.....
secondly and to the point, we are there post Saddam removal because we have to secure Iraq just like we stayed in German post WW2.
and just for a little extra, knowing now that there are no WMDs does not mean that the entire world thought there were no WMDs. EVERYONE thought they were there.

You guys would laugh if you knew the arguments my bro & I had back in the days of Reagan. If you told him that you thought I was in any way liberal in politics, he would swallow his false teeth. I am republican to the core, but I can admit mistakes.

Monkeyman, come on lets be reasonable. I was just pointing out that not eveyone agrees with you.

I didn't say that "I" would give any infraction.... I just said it might have earned him one.... its in the review area now....
