David, fair enough, good post.
You and I do not know if WMB, or means to acquire it was provided and if so to what extent. And if it was, you and I wouldn't be the persons to get informed about it.
The problem that I have with that cooperation is that it, without a questions, prolonged a bloody war for years. Resulting in hundreds of thousands of additional deaths, some by chemical weapons. And after it ended, it left Saddam, and evil man in power and the situation got worst as the result. I believe that was a foreign policy mistake that hunts us to this day. Similar issue resulted in the power of Taleban and Bin laden.
As a side note, even though it seems I only argue with you, you and I have a lot in common, especially about our view in fiscal conservatism, racism (some call it affirmative action) and probably most other issues. I think we just disagree on foreign policy and that has to do with our life experience. Oh yes, we also disagree about Rush Limbaugh.
