I'm really not sure what you are responding to. We knew what "ties" Iraq has for years, and we helped arm them. Its just now that attacking them is popular. Why is that?

Clooney made a well reasoned statement for a hollywood type. You guys are blowing this way out of proportion.

Not sure, but I think it has something to do with September 11th.

My point is you don't know that Iraq was not involved in the September 11 atack.

Dan Burton has had a House committee looking at this for some time now..

Ah, your selective memory is fascinating.

We sold them conventional weapons - you know, tanks, rockets, etc.

It was not the US, but France and Russia that gave them the tools to go nuclear and biological - in other words to develop weapons of mass destruction.

We would not be contemplating a war in Iraq if they were only in possession of the conventional weapons we sold them.

The typical leftist cant, which you have stooped to employing here is: "We gave them weapons of mass destruction and now we're telling them they can't have them!" Which is a complete and total crock.

The best that can be said for some of the stupider leftist fellow travelers is that they don't know the facts.

But I know you do, and that's pretty sinister.
