So you opposed the invasion of Afghanistan?

No, Afghanistan was justified as that's where OBL was. We should have pursued him wherever we needed to in order to bring him to justice, but the WOT has failed to nail Most Wanted #1.

I could throw a million things at you about Saddam, but the bottom line is there was a connection and there didn't need to be anyway.

Wow, George Bush must just smile and laugh to himself when he sees how easy it is to dupe sheeple like you. Talk about the CYA statement of the day: "Of course there's lots of evidence against sadamm, although i can only cite right-wing-pro-war sources to prove it and qualify my statements by saying that even if I can't prove it we had ever right to enter Iraq and kill saddam, even though I don't give any reason why that is."

Should we invade Saudi Arabia? How about Egypt? Johnny Walker Lindh was from Marin County, Richard Reed was from Britain and one of Al Qaida's current video spokescritters is from Australia. Shall we invade those places?

You prove my own point for me (thanks!) - there was more reason to invade any and all of the above than there was Iraq. You truly are a patriot. Give yourself a pat on the back for each soldier that has died in Iraq for nothing.

You know, I'm going to ignore all those little insults you threw at me and stay on task. Can you provide any documentation that use of troops in Iraq has prevented the capture of Osama bin Laden? Why would it be more important to find this one guy than to dismantle terror networks?

Then there's this:

Actually, what I've proven is that the nationality of a terrorist has nothing to do with the proper response. The idea of going into Iraq was to prevent attacks, not avenge them. Are you really claiming that Iraq had less of a connection to terrorism that the governments of Great Britain and Marin County?

And let's not forget those questions:
If we had left Saddam in place and a WMD/Nuke attack occurred on an American city, would you have defended Bush for his restraint in refusing to depose Saddam?
If hijackers trained by him had done a repeat of 9/11, would you be praising Bush's restraint?
