Oh sure, I remember the every night last fall watching Fox News hearing the administration's talking heads covering the human rights violations < /sarcasm>. It was WMD all day, all the time. The tons upon tons and liters of WMDs that Hussein was practically handing out like candy to the terrorists was all we heard of.

The administration, especially President Bush, repeatedly discussed the human right violations as well as WMD's. The networks, as they do, did cover the WMD angle more because it's more sensational, but you know as well as I do that the rape rooms and torture rooms and the fact that SH used WMDs on his own people and the need to liberate the Iraqi people were discussed over and over again by the administration last year.

In fact, opponents of the war and of the Bush admin often whined that the justification for war with Iraq kept changing. They'd say, "Is it WMD? Is it the human rights violations? Is it to liberate the Iraqi people? Which is it?" In their silly little minds, they thought that there could only be one justification.

Now these same people are pretending that WMD was the only justification given and accuse the admin of only using the human rights violations as an after-the-fact justification.

It would be refreshing to see some of these people just admit the truth, that taking out the Saddam Hussein regime was the right thing to do.

I won't hold my breath.

LOL!! I guess the rhetoric for Project Bomb Syria wasn't going over very well lately. What to do, what to do? I know, they've got WMDs!!! Personally I figured they were going to be in Iran next...

I'll ask you a second time. What's the real motive for wanting to bomb Syria? Do you have an answer? Since Syria has no oil that can't be it. Maybe you're just keeping it to yourself. Privileged information etc.

So then you also remember the stories posted here of convoys of trucks seen leaving from suspected sites in Iraq and heading into Syria and into the mountians of Iran. I do because of all of the people so frustrated and screaming that we were letting the evidence get away by not going in that minute and stopping the flow.

I guess all the documentation that there was a WMD program that the troops have found also hold no weight with you. There is no doubt that there was WMD there. There is only doubt about where they put it. Russia has been very condesending in their remarks to Blair about the program, they are sure we will find nothing in Iraq, so it is no longer there.
