We went to Iraq for more reasons than just the WMD. The left would like to rewrite history and make that the only reason.

"We went to Iraq for more reasons than just the WMD. The left would like to rewrite history and make that the only reason."

Correct.

Plus, let's not forget the unspoken reasons for going into Iraq:

-- To secure locations for long-term US bases in the heart of the Islamofascists.
-- To put the fear of Allah into the governments of Syria and Iran among others.
-- To entice the terrorists to wage their battles in Iraq rather than here.
-- To, and this is a tough one, to hopefully develop a democratic Iraqi government that can take hold. Freedom and democracy have a way of spreading over time.

We all must remember and realize that this war on terror is really a World War that will take years and perhaps decades to wage.

9/11: A call to duty. A call to arms. A call to victory over terrorists and their sponsors. Never forget.
