It would have had nothing to do with the weather. In fact, March was probably the absolute worst time of the year to start the military action -- due to the onset of the hot summer months in Iraq. If weather were an issue, they would have waited until October.

Sure it did.

"In fact, March was probably the absolute worst time of the year to start the military action"

Not really. June, July or August would have been the worst time.

"If weather were an issue, they would have waited until October."

Nope. As was said a million times, you can't keep troops on a high level of alert on an unlimited basis. Their readiness degrades after a certain period of time.

We were prepared to move much earlier, however the likes of you prevented it and demanded more "international cooperation". Another concession by the administration that is resulting in a "slapping" by those of you on the left!
