Mr. Cameron said it was clear to him that the British people did not want to see military action.

The Iraqi invasion should give all those who advocate military pause for another misadventure in the Middle East, with trillions of dollars expended, untold number of our military heroes killed, wounded, maimed for life,

For What?

What practical, tangible aspect have we gained, did we gain, with the War in Iraq? I would say, you'd be hard-pressed to find a single neocon who wouldn't want to move the clock back.

What Assad did was immoral, contemptible, a thousand people or more having suffered a grisly death.

Wars should not be fought only on the basis of the moral issues involved in any decision to end the regime of Assad. War declared must include the aspect of genuine threat, the involvement military action against us, Pearl Harbor, 9/11.

Assad is a very bad man, has done terrible things, but we must not be knee-jerk, to invade a country where our needs and interests are not threatened. Morality as the overwhelming basis for military action is a very poor reason to to war.

Agree with you regarding Syria.

However you have found a neocon here who wouldn't want to move the clock back on Iraq.

9/12/01's New York Times reported Saddam Hussein announcing his support for the 9/11 attacks that had just taken place on our country.

He got taken out and I believe that was a gain.

Agreed the idea that someone should be ‘punished’ by us in idiotic. We are being duped again. This time people realize it. When does the mission creep, constitution and purple fingers start? Been there, done that.

Thank God someone on this planet has some brains. God bless the brits!!
There is NO reason for America to spill any blood or waste money in that sh!thole corner of the world. Those muzzie savages have been killing each other for centuries and NOTHING we could do will change that.
I pray that someone has the balls to tell the muzzie in the white hut to back off!!!
