"They difinitely DID have weapons of mass destruction! I mean, I'm PRETTY SURE they had WMD,.......uh,...I think they had WMD,.......ummmmmm,.....maybe the DIDN'T have WMD,.....but THAT DOESN'T MATTER! That's NOT why we went into Iraq! We went into Iraq to,.....ummm,....free the people from a dictator! YEAH! That's it! Free them from a dictator! That's the ticket!"
I believe this is called "rationalization".
I was not for the war. I did not see a reason for it. We invaded a soverign nation. Saddam was scum, but not any more than half a dozen OTHER dictators around the world. WHY DID WE INVADE IRAQ? Come on, Folks. Face the truth. Bush WANTED to invade Iraq. I bet he planned to invade Iraq before 9/11 even HAPPENED. I don't know why. I DON'T believe it was for "the oil", but it certainely wasn't for the reason they have given us.
One more thing: it really GALLS me when, just because a person is against a war, they are AUTOMATICALLY labeled as being against the men and women fighting in that war. NO ONE supports the troops more than me, even if I don't think this war is just. I am proud of every one of them.

Get a clue. Iraq wasn't Haiti &
Saddam wasn't Aristide. It's the
Middle East, a Terror source for
the whole world. Saddam shot at
our pilots every day, refusing to
abide by the conditional ceasefire
from '91 when he had invaded
Kuwait. He harbored Terrorists &
paid for suicide bombings. His
scientists were capable of quickly
bringing WMD into production, use.
He thumbed his nose at the world
for 12 years about WMD. Just about
everyone believed he had them &
would use them. You're isolating
on GWB. You are a fraud, or dumb.

Can't decide...

I think we will still find WMD. Maybe I'm a optimist. I feel all the stuff the coalition is finding is classified at this moment until the investigation/inspection is finished. Going into Iraq was the right thing. Saddam was like that drunk driver on the road and everyone in town is too afraid to take his license away because he has a bad temper. We can't wait around for the UN to make up their mind for another twelve years of inspections saying "maybe, might have, we assess he has them." If you have a man like Saddam who thinks his another Hammurapi who is dabbling with WMD, committed genocide with his own people and used these awful weapons against his neighbors. How many dictators do that? Bush and Blair were just taking his power away. For those who are concerned about the environment he was setting oil field ablaze and draining the marshes. He damaging the eco-system. How many dictators do that? Bush made a decision based on Saddam's history and we can't wait around for small amounts of wmd to go to terrorist hands with his erratic behavior. That's justification enough. Dr. Kay in his Jan 2004 said the Iraqi's were thinking about restarting the nuke program but could not acquire the uranium. They were researching and developing CBW. They experimented the stuff on their own prisoner's. They had long range missles to carry conventional and unconventional weapons which were not permitted by the UN. Also unmanned drones to dispense CBW which was not permitted by the UN. In the military we had to take a course in NBC weapons and their effects. I came out of that class feeling really down. How could people treat each other so crueling and create such terrible weapons. With a nuke, if your lucky to be at ground zero...you will be vaporized. But chemical and biological weapons are really insidious. They maim, disfigure or kill scores of people. It's a slow terrible death. Did you know the VX nerve gas is activated by dual purpose ingredients; water and bleach! Do we really need another small pox outbreak? I don't care if they find a lunch box filled with weapons of mass of destruction it worth going in and doing our own inspection. Now the UN is all upset because we just upstaged them because they are incompetent.. and taking bribes from Saddam with the food for oil progam. This is not rationalization but using reasoning.
