We were in a state of war with Iraq. They violated a ceasefire, many times over. Who cares if they had "operational" ties with al Queda? I don't, even though I am sentient enough to know about Ansar al Salam.

The best post mortem I can offer is that I will agree with the loons we should not have invaded Iraq. WE SHOULD HAVE INVADED IRAN INSTEAD.

The best post mortem I can offer is that I will agree with the loons we should not have invaded Iraq. WE SHOULD HAVE INVADED IRAN INSTEAD ALSO.

And we should have done it as soon as it became clear they were funding an insurgency. Really though, we had to attack Iraq fisrt. Afghanistan is landlocked on one side of Iran, and Iraq has ports on the other side of Iran.
