I wonder if we will ever learn the real reason

We took down Saddam so Israel wouldn't. In that regard Hillary

behind it 100% along with Lieberman and McCain.
The only other option was to let Israel do it on their own ...
very
unlikely or to back them and that would be worse than the mess
we
have
now.
The US has gone far out of their way to avoid using the "I"
word.
That
is why they came up with the Kurds, WMD and the idea of
democracy
for
Iraq.

Cynic that I am, I think it was because Bush had a hard-on for
Iraq
before he took office, and directed his staff to cook the intel so
he
could justify his attack to the American people. That and the fact
that
he had dead-ended in the hunt for bin Laden in Afghanistan.

Only problem with that fantasy is the fact that the Dems were
beating
the Iraq war drums long before Bush took office. The "intel" was
there before Bush was even a candidate. Try again.

True, but you would need to read more than just newspapers in order
to
understand what changed from year to year. It requires books, which
are
heavy.

True, but books, like movies, are sometimes fictional. Even the
ones
posing as "real". It can be difficult for someone like you to tell
the difference.

Are you saying that you will *never* read books about recent American
history?

Are you saying that you believe *everything* you choose to read?

Do you read books that contain contrary points of view to your own, or
do you only read books that align with your pre-conceived views?

Do you buy your books, or do you have a library card?

Do you move your lips when you read? How would you know?

Can you be anymore argumentative and contrary?

Do you sometimes feel a need to wear a jockstrap over your head?

And back to the issue...

How do you reconcile your statement that "Bush cooked the intel" with
the fact that Dems are captured *on video* beating the wars drums for
Iraq starting back in *1998* well before Bush took office? Think
about it... how did Bush cook *that* intel?

You first.

Are you saying you will *never* read books about recent American
history?

Read carefully. I wrote: " True, but books, like movies, are
sometimes fictional. Even the ones posing as "real". It can be
difficult for someone like you to tell the difference." Not sure how
that statement morphed into you thinking I said something about
reading, or not reading, certain types of books. The two have nothing
to do with each other, except in your mind. Short answer: No, I am
not saying that.

Now you answer my questions.

No. Not yet.

You said it could be difficult for someone like me to tell the difference.
How would YOU tell the difference without reading the book?

Or:

After you read a book, how would you decide it was not "real"?

Sorry. No more answers from me until you've answered my last
question.

Refresher:

How do you reconcile your statement that "Bush cooked the intel" with
the fact that Dems are captured *on video* beating the wars drums for
Iraq starting back in *1998* well before Bush took office? Think
about it... how did Bush cook *that* intel?

Answer it now. Or just accept the fact that you were incorrect.

The answer was contained earlier in the discussion: The available
information changed from year to year, which you would've known if you'd
read books, or even read past the front page of any newspaper which targets
grownups. Much of this information is NOT CLASSIFIED, and was clearly
spelled out by grownup news sources.
