What I do know is this; 1) the Bush invasion resulted in the wipeout of the Iraqi Christian population, which had been there for 2000 years; 2) when we invaded, a poll showed we had the support of 35 percent of Iraqis, if Saddam was so horrible why wasn’t this much higher, like over 90 percent? 3) a poll a year into the Occupation found we had the support of 2 percent of the population, or 1 in 50 Iraqis; 4) Iran was placed in a much stronger position than with Saddam who was their mortal enemy; 5) Colin Powell came to realize that what he was told to say at the UN was a pack of lies and he never got over it; 6) we lost far too many of our best young men and women, led by a VP, Cheney who would not serve in the military during VN (he had five marriage and educaiton deferments and said service “wasn’t for him”) and a President, GW Bush, who somehow got into the Alabama National Guard and reportedly wouldn’t even show up for monthly meetings.

Right. Just like Saddam received 100% of the vote in his "elections." Opinion polls of Iraquis. Lol. You are seriously saying Saddam Hussien was not that bad. Has it really come to this? This is surreal. Your whole post could have been copy and pasted from DU. I am shaking my head in disgust. I can't be the only one.
