it is rather interesting that you would cite the use of chemical weapons by hussein some 14-16 years earlier as a justification ("who WMD'd his own people") for invading the country. funny, how the "hussein 'has' wmd" is vitually forgotten by bush supporters. why is that?

you have falsely asserted hussein being connected to 9/11. there is no peripheral connection, just one that has been imagined.

there is even conflicting reports as to the validity of the assasination attempt to kill the elder bush and hussein's involvement. makes one think of the incubator lies told about the first iraq war. in reviewing your post the only thing that is conclusive about your post is the bombing of israel which took place in 1991.

did you see the news yesterday? the reason i ask is because the iraqi's protesting the u.s. occuaption really challenges your statement "the Iraqi people are just starting to put their lives back together with our assistance."

have a nice day!

I cited Hussein's use of chemical weapons against the Kurds, but I never cited it as a justification for going to war. We went to war because we determined that Ba'athist Iraq was a threat to U.S. national security, and we made the corrrect decision.

Yeah, I saw the news yesterday. And the polls. 7 out of 10 Iraqis want us to stay, and nearly everyone in the nation admits that things are much better now that Saddam is gone. You wouldn't be watching Al Jazeeera by any chance, would you?

As far as Saddam's complicity in 9/11 and his attempted assassination of the Elder, there is strong evidence to support it, albeit circumstantial. .....strong enough to go to war. And it appears we're going to stay until the job is done whether or you and the millions of protesting leftists today like it or not.

The fact that he clearly had weapons of mass destruction 14-16 years ago - a fact that only the most delusional hate-America-first leftists can deny or spin given the widespread and well-known photographs of dead Kurdish babies up in northern Iraq and the uncontested testimony of survivors - is not a "justification" for the invasion.

Rather, the 15-year-old WMD use is a point in a continuum. He had chemical weapons and supporting hardware and intellectual capital 14-16 years ago, point one. He engaged in a pattern of evasion, deception, and obstructionism in defiance of United Nations resolutions demanding that he divest Iraq of such weapons, point two. He created the impression among the inspectors, and even his own officers, that WMD were ready for use, and carefully hidden, point three.

Why is it so difficult for leftists to connect the dots?

Besides, Congress spelled out the justification for invasion under the Clinton Administration when it passed a resolution calling for regime change in Iraq.

I hope you find it easy to cope with that extra long nose you acquired after pushing the Post button.

May I suggest that you return to the Democrat boards? Please?
