"Being a Repub and FOR the war cause I believed that we gave the appropriate reasons and Saddam did not comply"

Me, too. I said the statement was a good reason even in the absence of other reasons. I didn't say other reasons were absent.

"........you do not invade countries JUST to spread democracy......."

I stand by my original statement. For over half a century there has been a very good chance the world will be ignited by the conflicts and exportation of violence from that region. Putting a beacon in there, whether it be one of democracy or hope or just plain putting fear in the hearts of the bad guys is, as I said, IMHO, a good reason for what we did.

"I was for invading but not for that lame excuse......if we didn't, I fully believe that Saddam would have started up WMD and sold it to terroists."

Again, I disagree about the 'lame' part but agree that there were other reasons.

Please forgive the lack of capitals. I have a sore throat.

that is ok.......i had bronchitis last week....I appreciate what you have said....I don't follow the party line either. One thing I hated was that Wolfilwitz did say that Iraqi oil would pay for the whole thing.......and he was wrong.....amongst other things. The planning for the aftermath was just piss poor. I don't mind making mistakes like maybe disbanding the Iraqi army, that is all hindsight, and I don't respect those who arm chair QB but not admitting mistakes from those beneath the Prez in cowardice in my opinion.......
