The flap over missing weapons of mass destruction is really beside the point

Well, after David Kay's testimony it's going to have to be. Had we ever found anything, I'll bet it would have been the point. But, as it stands, they'll go with plan b and, like this essay, lead with the humanitarian angle.

If Bush backpedals on his invasion of Iraq - its all over. He's finished.

There were solid reasons for our involvement there beyond WMD and the jury is still out on those.

As ALWAYS, the Democrats are behaving exactly as what they are - mendacious, self-serving traitors.

Consider what would happen if we got into a confrontation with Syria or Iran or China and the President — this one or the next — claimed that the enemy posed an imminent threat? Given the smear campaign of the “antiwar” Democrats, who is going to believe him?

This statement is what I fear most about the current political environment. The shortsighted power grabbing tactics of the Democrats are damaging any ability we have to respond to threats ("perceived", "gathering", "imminent", or "actual"), either through preventative, preemptive, or retaliatory actions.

That is why the character of the person leading this country is of utmost importance. To quote J.C.Watts: ”Character is doing what’s right when nobody is looking.” Since much of what a President must do in fighting any war cannot be done in the light of day if it is to be effective, his (or her) character must be without question.

I believe George W. Bush still passes this test. I find it hard to name any Democrat, let alone one of their candidates that does.

The flap over missing weapons of mass destruction is really beside the point because virtually every intelligence agency in the Western world thought the weapons were there, as did the U.N. inspection team. Moreover, Saddam Hussein was given four months to prove he had destroyed the weapons that U.N. inspectors had already established that he possessed. These included thousands of tons of nerve gas, anthrax and other chemical and biological goodies. What became of these? No one knows.

And that is why Bush had to go in!!...Saddam NOT Bush lead the world to believe he had these WMD by NOT providing an answer to where they went. By not showing proof of their destruction. Because of Saddam's deception and cover ups the world could only conclude that he still had them and was hiding them, so therefore Bush's justification for going to war was totally correct.

Guess the scumbag Kerry will have to jump on another failing issue for his botoxic campaign.
