Great petition, with this caveat...

A lot of these petition firms are well meaning. Some are mainly designed to harvest emails. Most online petitions are ineffective and unvalidated.

This particular petition’s text is indeed the kind of message we need to beat our hireling public servants about the head and neck with, for sure!

It would be far more effective for people to TELEPHONE and speak with Congressional staffers—or FAX the text of this to their Congressmen/women.

tag.

petition is good.

note, another solid way to support this cause is something I do, rather than the preferred company of reasonable folks like freepers, hit the enemy wherever I see them and intelligently and factually challenge their most core beliefs. Several of them are very easy.

“Bush lied to go to war” or “it wasn’t the war on terror until we made it so”

Joint resolution is the only official justification acceptable outlining the cause for war, and you know what? It contains not one lie, nor anything proven false after the fact.

No claims of stockpiles at that time nor need to find any.

Terrorism, or the war on terrorism- INTERNATIONAL terrorism, is mentioned at least a half dozen times.

those two are nonpartisan, this leans right but is more detailed yet fully sourced. Avoid Salman Pak claim, that may be false.

Finally this is rather amazing this is never discussed.This proves Saddam wasn’t just a sponsor, he WAS himself a terrorist:

His personal guards hid those before the war.

You will infuriate any group of haters because you have facts that are irrefutable. I avoid returning insults if I can.

It seems like a small deal, and don’t plan on winning any arguments or changing minds, but that’s not important. These vermin tend to gravitate in pockets of the net where they seek comfort writing their own history.
Factual Claim: Saddam Hussein was the most blatant and conspicuous state sponsor of international terrorism in the world in 2002. Nobody else ran an announement on Al Jazeera. Over 120 bounties for “martyrs” were paid from 2000-2003.

First response you will hear is “Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11”. Reply that nobody said they did, and thank you but you elect leaders with the vision to pursue the next terrorists, not chase ghost of the dead. (arresting and prosecuting successful suicide bombers is a decidedly ineffective tactic.

Our troops removed that. Haters want to deny them due credit. We can stop that.

Thank You for reading.
