We can keep on doing this stuff as long as the US can hold together...there is nothing I can do about it. I just ask that those that support this policy answer truthfully....Has the end justified the means? If one is comfortable with answering "yes"...then fine. Just stop trying to act as if what we are doing is always right.

Your arguing from the pressuposition that they knew the intel was wrong, and didn't correct it and in fact acted on it knowing it was wrong.

the WMD issue aside, as I already pointed out they had a strong case to remove Saddam Hussein without the WMD issue, outlined in the War Resolution.


Things like honoring Contracts for example, say the Cease Fire Agreement which Saddam violated the terms of constantly for a decade, each instance being a case to resume hostilities.

Perhaps you don't give a rip about Contracts though, just grabbing the ankles

There were those that KNEW it was wrong and were ignored..right up to the slam dunking and after.

Actually you are correct...I really do not care WTF some 2 bit dictator that poses no threat to this land mass does. When the Mexicans or Canadians start posing a threat...then call me concerned.

It would seem the ones that grabbed ankles on this one were those that f'd this up. I hope they can live with the lives of the dead on their consciences.

Come on Fo. You know they were a threat to our 51st state-Israel. This I believe this was a HUGE reason for going in(this just a personal guess, no facts to show this that I know of).
