JLH,

Great I know what I am but what are you come back. Got any real sticks and stones stuff you are saving?


Lets assume for a minute that you are right about WMD we cannot use 9-11 involvement becasue it was never given as a reason for the invasion by the president or congress.

1 We believe Iraq has WMD.

2. Iraq has denied inspections since 1998.

3. The risk to the US if Iraq gets WMD is too great.

4. Iraq is a threat to the region.

6. Iraq persistantly violates UN Resolutions.

7. Iraq is in material and unnacceptable breach of peace treaty obligations.

8. Iraq brutally represses its own citizens.

9. Iraq has fired on US troops, on thousands of occasions.

10. Iraq tried to assassinate a US President.

11. Iraq supports and harbors terorists.

12. Iraq has demonstrated its capability and willingness to use weapons of mass destruction against other nations and its own people.

13. Regime change is the official policy of the US toward Iraq.

Only the #1 of these is under any question. Twelve perfectly good reasons even if intelligence data on WMD were faulty.

Congress gave those very same reasons (among others) for going to war in Iraq.

The WMD issue is still not resolved as even France, germany, Russia and the rest of the world admitted that Iraq possesed them. Where they are and what happened to them is a better question than did they exist.

And to top it all off did you have a premontion about the WMD or did you gain that position from the rear view mirror after the invasion? How would you have ever developed that opinion if we did not invade. Some see it as being enlightend to support or be passive on something until it is seen as somewhat popular to oppose it bassed on the rearview mirror. But I find it shameful. You knew nothing and you still know nothing as shown by your partyline words.
