As Saddam used to say, it takes a real SOB to run Iraq. I certainly agree that Saddam had to go

Given the premise you establish, could you explain something? On what basis do you argue that replacing an anti-Iranian Ba'athist SOB with a fundamentalist pro-Iranian Shi'ite SOB has been worth all this American blood and treasure?

You forgot to mention that Iraqi oil was supposed to pay for all this military and infrastructure aid.

Actually, I said Saddam had to go. He was funding Palestinian terror attacks in Israel and part of the world terror network.

Once gone, I think for our own interests we need to make sure Iraq and its oil don't fall into Iranian hands.

In fact, I will take it one step further...Ahmadinejad and the mullahs must also take a dive.

As to your point of American blood and treasure...if any of it is being wasted, it because we are fighting a PC war.

IMO, we should take of the gloves.
