He thinks he is an influencer. He lost all credibility a long time ago.

I’m with Trump on the issue of the Iraq war. Your position is on the same side as Bill Kristol. That really ought to give you something to think about.

I’m going to leave it at that. Hope the rest of your Sunday is pleasant.

Apparently you can't read. Or else you lack comprehension. Maybe both. Regardless, you're late to the party and trying to tell everyone what WE missed. Cute. Noob.

Hopefully, someday you'll get the "schooling" you need.

We won the war but lost the peace.

Bill Kristol says the exact same thing. He also still says that invading Iraq was a good thing and we “won” before we lost.

Bill Kristol’s magazine was also telling us the WMDs were still out there somewhere. So you’re in good Kristolian company!

Iraq had chemical and nerve weapons. That is not in dispute, because we know that Iraq used them not only against the Iranians, but against their own citizens in the years prior to 2003.

Which of these options in your opinion explains why chemical or biological agents were never used against our troops:

  1. Saddam Hussein used ALL of the weapons against the Iranians and his own population, leaving him with none by the time the invasion took place.

  2. Saddam Hussein had them but wouldn't use them because it would have given the USA and allies the right to take extreme measures in destroying his regime.

  3. Saddam Hussein had chemical and biological agents and wanted to use them, but waited too long and his regime collapsed before he could use them as a desperation move.

  4. Saddam Hussein had them and wanted to use them but his military refused.

  5. Saddam Hussein destroyed them all in order to comply with sanctions.

  6. Saddam Hussein kept them, but they were unusable by the time the invasion came.

  7. Saddam Hussein transported them to Syria for safe keeping in the hope he could retain power and reclaim them later.

Just curious-what is your opinion?

"Well it turns out Hans Blix was right. There were no WMDs. In the name of finding those mythical weapons we set the Middle East ablaze."

You know, in spite of the fact this has become the accepted mythology, none of that is true.

WMDs were found. Not mass storage depots, no. But then we knew Iraq was getting them out of the country before the invasion.

But that's not the main thing. We didn't go to war to because Iraq had large stored quantities of WMDs. That's a myth. It is undisputed that Iraq had made WMDs, had used them, and had the capability to produce more at any time they wanted. The only thing limiting them were the sanctions and inspections. The regime was dangerous no matter how many chemical weapons were in the current inventory.

The sanctions and inspections were breaking down. Other countries in the UN had lost the desire to keep punishing the Iraqi people, and it probably wouldn't have been kept up for much longer. After which the only limiting force on Iraq would be gone.

Iraq never lived up to the terms they agreed to to end the Gulf War. There was no reason to think Iraq would accept any limits in the future. And they repeatedly engaged in small acts of hostility.

The middle east had problems before that, and since that, unrelated to the Iraq invasion. None of the major conflicts going on right now come from the Iraq invasion.

Kristol should apologize to every Conservative for impersonating a Conservative.

You need to inform Trump. He says there were no WMDs. Of course as president he would have no way of knowing

I’m so glad Trump has pushed these sort of liberal, anti-American, globalist neo-cons out of our party. They fit much better on the left, where they can all work together against little Americans.

Please write to Trump and let him know he’s wrong on the Iraq war. George Bush and Bill Kristol were right

In his quiet moments I bet Bill Kristol fantasizes about going skinny-dipping with Joe Biden.

When Biden swam nude in the pool in front of female Secret Service agents it may not have been because he was being lewd, but because he just plain forgot to put on his swim trunks.

Uh, it was OBVIOUS he was talking about Kristol.

Unless “rintintin” is Kristol’s FR Handle, you owe the OP an apology.

I think he was talking to the wonderful Bill Kristol.

Btw, I supported Bush in Iraq but come on there were no WMDs.

They just wanted to use the 911 attacks to get rid of Saddam like Bush,s father should have done when saddam invaded Kuwait.

The intelligence agencies of course lied like we now know they always do.

KA was stupid to even say something like that even if taken out of context.
I’ll be glad when she is gone. There will be less leaks too.

American troops found nearly 5,000 abandoned chemical weapons in Iraq from 2004 to 2011, but their discoveries were kept secret by the U.S. government,

U.S. troops found nearly 5,000 abandoned chemical weapons in Iraq from 2004 to 2011: report

U.S. soldiers found a roadside bomb containing sarin nerve agent in Baghdad, the military said Monday. The device, which partially detonated, was apparently a leftover from Saddam Hussein's arsenals. It was unclear whether more such weapons were in the hands of insurgents.
