The voters think Obama is a muslim and born outside the USA. If you can't dazzle 'em with brilliance. Indeed.
I'm confused. If you aren't an advocate for the Iraq war......what are you arguing about? Unless Iraq was close to acquiring nukes - and an effective delivery system - the existence of a few barrels of chemical weapons hardly justifies the cost of the war to our country.
OK, I'll ask you the same question: was the Iraq war worth the cost to the US? If not, what are you arguing about?
To answer your question, this started out with me saying I don't understand how people could believe Saddam didn't have WMD's when we invaded. I didn't defend going to Iraq. I'm not pimping Bush. I'm not tearing down President Obama. jlprk took offense to what I said apparently, and proceeded to make up a bunch of crap and state his opinion as fact, which I've been disputing. I must have missed the vote on whether Saddam was hiding WMD's. Go Blazers
My view is Saddam needed to be disarmed. He was. We didn't need to nation build. The Iraqis should have sorted things out for themselves.
Disarmed of what? He had nothing that could hurt us. This wasn't some gentlemen's debate over UN measures, which is the impression given in this thread. Bush killed many hundreds of thousands (2 million by a couple of estimates, the estimators apparently not infiltrated enough by Western intelligence) and operated several dozen torture factories.

I like how some people "Maris"; lol. Generalize that a church like this is like all Christian Churches. The myopic mentality in this forum baffles me sometimes.
