WMD's have been found, are being found and will be continually be found in Iraq. The Iraq Saddam Hussein regime has been involved exstensively with Al Qaida, from allowing Al Qaida terrorist training camps, to providing legitimate state sponsored passports, to being directly involved in attacks against America, Americans and American intersts, especially the events of September 11th, 2001. What? Is this guy to lazy to research this? Has the constant repeating of the "Bush lied there was no WMD's, no Al Qaida-Iraq connection" propaganda from the leftist anti-American Democrats and media worked so well on this conservative? Shameful!

Barry F is saying thatit doesn't matter whether all those allegations are true or not. He does not believe that they are lies.He is telling all those hung up on the ideas that everything was not straight and aboveboard (war never is)that that is irrelevant to the roblem at hand. We've got a major enemy in the world that is trying to end our civilization and the Democrats will, at best, put the war on hold and allow the enemy to gather strength which he will do geometrically. Obliquely he is telling people like me who see that Bush has implemented more of the left agenda than Kerry could ever hope to achieve that if we don't survive as an intact nonIslamic nation then what does it matter? Survival right now counts more than anything else. We can fight sociaism later- granted that rolling back the statist gains is near impossible- if the Islamists win this then there is no longer any discussion about it even.

We can't have Reagan again. Without the war we could speculate on the benefits of having a president Kerry facing a Republican House and Senate. Given what is available now and without the war, I personally think that is much more sensible than re-electing W. But that is not the situation. This war changes all that. We must have a president who understands the war and the enemy and a congress that will not emasculate him.
