The presence of WMD's, at this time, is totally irrelevant except to Leftist dolts looking to find traction on some issue. The facts are, according to the Clinton White House and the UN, that Saddam, unquestionably, had chemical weapons. The Kurdish dead are also evidence that he had them and was willing to use them.

We went to war with Iraq for many reasons, but the one in play has been the Left's obcession with WMD's because they were the ones looking for higher levels of justification from Bush that they had from anyone else. All of the troubled voices in government and the media harping on this are liars since they never had any sort of definitive standards before this time.

The war in Iraq was a battle. The real war is ongoing and is against terrorism. We've known this much since the Bush repsonse to terrorism in the week following 911. I believe, and hope, that America will act unilaterally, if need be, to continue the destruction and punishment of regimes across the globe that harbor, train, finance and in any way aid the mayhem of international terror. Saddam was involved in all of these activities. The facts are there.

So, Mr. Dean, if you are having conscience problems and are looking for a better government you can go and "Kiss it." At least, that's what 'people of conscience' did throught the 90's when these problems developed.

What a wanker.

Hey, I was for the war strongly. WMD's or not. Saddam was a murderous thug who was destabilizing to the region, made us take up a dicey alliance with Saudi Arabia to counter him, and he needed to be gone.

However, let's not kid the kidders here. The administration before we went in talked like WMD's were pouring out of rooftops they were so vast in number.

They exaggerated. It is easier to rally the people behind WMD's than to say that our relationship with Saudi Arabia is a mess, and we are sick of being in bed with those thugs only to counter Saddam, and sanctions aren't working.

We had good reasons to go in. We just didn't have the intelligence on WMD's that we claimed we did. Our administration lied. All administrations lie. It's a fact of life.
