I must assume? We are so off topic with the WMD thing here, going down a very well beaten path that leads to nowhere.
That adventure was botched terribly, then add in Obama’s screwed up attempt to turn Egypt over to the Muslim Brotherhood, Destroying Libya, Destroying Syria, and what you get is an American public that wants nothing to do with any Middle East wars. You can’t win when you START from a place where maybe 10% of the population is invested. At most!
[[going down a very well beaten path that leads to nowhere.]]
Only because those that think Bush lied about wmd’s as the only reason for war keep making the same false accusation time and time again- The path leads to the justification for war- but the ‘bush lied’ crowd keeps saying the same false things over and over again- The path is clear- the end result of the ‘bush lied’ crowd is not-
Read the duelfer report- Saddam was a major threat- and had the capabilities AND stated desire to reopen his WMD making capabilities back up and could have done so in very short order- This was just one of the several very valid reasons for the war- but hte ‘Bush Lied’ crowd keeps falsely claiming that it was the ONLY reason for the war, and because inspectors were prevented from doing their job, and Saddam had time to move weapons out, and we didn’t find them as a result- that the war was unjustified and Bush lied- This is nonsense-
[[That adventure was botched terribly,]]
No it wasn’t! Saddam WAS a member of the axis of evil- He was removed as a growing threat- and the middle east now realizes that when they harbor, train and arm terrorists, we will not tolerate it-
We had just been attacked, and the middle east was housing, arming and training More terrorists, who’s stated goals were to attack the US- and showed with force, we would not just stand here and take it-
