We have never engaged in an illegal or unjust war.

And exactly where *are* the now infamous WMDs that that misinformed shrub
warned
U.S. omniously about, and used as a justification for ATTACKING another
soverign
nation?

Well, some of them were used on the Kurds in the late eighties, and I
imagine the rest of them are in Syria or are buried in the desert somewhere.
After all, he had 12 years to conceal them. I imagine we'll find them
eventually.

Besides, WMDs were not the only, nor even the most persuasive reason for
invading Iraq. If you don't know the other compelling reasons that fully
justified the invasion, it's because you're being willfully ignorant.


I've said all along, Dubya attacked Iraq for exactly two reasons:

1. OIL (Obviously)

Funny how with all that oil, we're not importing much, if any of it.

2. Because Dubya's daddy didn't do it right the first time!

Well, that is absolutely true. Any blame that attaches for casualties
suffered this time can be laid directly at Bush Sr.s door. He should have
wiped Saddam out when he had the chance. It's a pity we had to go back, but
the Asshole of Baghdad had 12 years and innumerable opportunities to comply
with the mandates of the cease fire. He didn't.

The fact that he refused to abide by the cease fire agreement is, in and of
itself, without any other support whatsoever, complete, full and absolute
justification for invading Iraq to depose Saddam. WMD's were just another
brick on the load.
