Does it matter if we find WMD's? Rush Limbaugh said a little more than a month ago that this war was never about WMD's but about regime change. We want to find them now to get back in the good graces of the traditional allies we "f"ed over but that was never the reason. Has anyone on this site ever bought for a moment that this war was about about WMD's? Syria has and always had more chemical and bio weapons than Sadaam ever did. This war was not about WMD's or directly American security. Whatever WMD's Sadaam had were given away to terrorists or their supporters once the bombs started dropping on Iraq (just to embarass the USA as the ever moronic O'ReillY Factor says). This war is about the USA trying to set up Iraq as a bastion of capitalism, law, and western way of thinking in order to destabalize the surrounding barbaric Islamic countries. Bold idea. Bold plan. But one I wouldn't take odds on.

"We want to find them now to get back in the good graces of the traditional allies we "f"ed over but that was never the reason."

Can you enlarge on this? Who did we do wrong? And why do we want to curry their favor now?
