Thanks, but I'll stick with Churchillbuff. Like Churchill, I believe in fighting real enemies who pose real danger to national interests. Iraq, with no WMDs and a 4th rate army, wasn't worth the lives of our young men and women.
No WMD's?

In a report which might alternately be termed ?stunning? or ?terrifying?, United Nations weapons inspectors confirmed last week not merely that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, but that he smuggled them out of his country, before, during and after the war. Late last week, the UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) briefed the Security Council on Saddam's lightning-fast dismantling of missile and WMD sites before and during the war. UNMOVIC executive chairman Demetrius Perricos detailed not only the export of thousands of tons of missile components, nuclear reactor vessels and fermenters for chemical and biological warheads, but...
What about the Sarin artillery shell rigged as an IED?
Is a sarin shell a WMD?
Churchill thought that Hitler was a problem,long before there was evidence.He also thought that the middle east was a roiling mess,which needed intervention.How right he was.
But being the masochist that you are,I know that you are just eating up all of the attention you are getting.LOL
Then I guess you didn't read the Senate Intelligence Report or the 9/11 Commission Report.
Here's what was in the Senate Intel Report:
1. 78 different reports from different sources provided info that Hussein's regime was actively training Iraqi intelligence officers for terrorist attacks against America.
2. Iraq provided al Qaeda with chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear training.
3. Direct meetings between senior Iraqi military officers and top Al Qaeda operatives took place. An Iraqi Fedayeen officer was present during at least on pre 9/11 planning meeting.
4. The truth about yellowcake uranium was the exact opposite of what Joe Wilson said it was. Iraq was trying to buy yellowcake uranium. In fact, Wilson's report to the CIA supported this fact, despite what he said publicly.
5. Putin said that Russian intelligence warned Washington several times in the days immediately following 9/11 that Hussein was planning to attack the US.
Try to get your facts straight before you go spouting off that Iraq wasn't a threat to the United States. Three administrations have viewed him as a threat and every player in the Democratic and Republican parties have regarded him as such. Until it became political.
You are either falling for political spin or you are part of a concerted effort to undermine the administration.
You certianly are not being very churchillian about you answer direct questions. you have failed to respond to another of my posts today, and you continue to dodge answering a direct question from other posters here.
And just so we can get you aboard the clue train here.
Sarin is a deadly WMD even is small doses. It is a chemical compound that attacks the central nevrous system. and to claim that Iraq did not have is living in a dream world. Why don't you ask the thousands of Kurds who were killed in the early 90's by "Chemical" Ali who shell kurdish villages with the same type of shells that IED was made with.
Just answer this question for me since you think Iraq was not a real enemy. Who is a real enemy of the U.S.?
I am awaiting your answer. If you fail to answer I will consider it fact then that you conceded the point that Iraq was not a real enemy of the U.S.
"I believe in fighting real enemies who pose real danger to national interests. Iraq, with no WMDs and a 4th rate army, wasn't worth the lives of our young men and women."
Are you honestly taking the position that we, in the USofA, are no safer today with SH out of power?
