Rational reasons must be offered to defend our actions in Iraq. Now that we know Al-Qaeda had no relations with Saddam, Saddam posed no imminent threat to American interests, and we are not the world's democracy policeman, why the hell did we go?

If we actually got attacked or we discovered plans that indicated we would be attacked, I'd support it. But, no such evidence was presented.

This constant "you're unpatriotic" or "you sound like a liberal" drone is indicative of a lack of information and argument.

Those of us who have looked beyond the liberal media know that this is false.

Saddam posed no imminent threat to American interests
Probably not. But we believed it to be true. And that belief is justifiable.
In retrospect, I believe that I was correct for calling for attacking Iran, not Iraq.

If we actually got attacked or we discovered plans that indicated we would be attacked, I'd support it. But, no such evidence was presented.
We were in a state of war, and the ceasefire had been breached. There were good reasons to attack. The timing was wrong.


But you see, we are in. The only choices are victory or defeat. Since you undermine victory, you end up supporting defeat.

You need to click on the name of the author of this thread to get yourself informed. Read all the info there that disputes most everything you say. These are actual Saddam- Iraqi documents that have been translated Please do this before you post again regarding Iraq.
