What that neglects to mention is that people like Blix and Bill Clinton have both said they believed Iraq had WMD's. Blix said that Iraq probably didn't have WMD. He wanted to finish his inspection work, but Bush kicked him out so that he could go to war. This war had nothing to do with WMD. Clinton was keeping a watchful eye on Saddam. Everyone knew he was a bad actor. Clinton was doing the right thing, keeping the pressure on Iraq. Bush's public reasons for the war have changed more times than I can count. Makes me wonder what the private reasons were, and how they are changing too. Bush needs to come clean. The war was not about WMD...he had the upper hand, with inspectors in the country. So much more could have been done without the invasion. I can see that a peaceful transition would have been likely. The big hammer was not needed in this case. Where we needed to be aggressive...against Al Qaeda...were only beginning now to put an effort into finding bin Laden. Two years have been wasted, in that resources were removed from the war on terror to the war on Saddam. Now Al Qaeda appears to be emboldened. You want to invade a half dozen countries. Have you considered the cost in lives and treasure? And to what end, to create even more terrorists? That is just what bin Laden wants the US to do. Extend itself militarily and financially. He knows that once the camel is loaded up, it only takes one straw to break it's back. Consider for one minute our own vulnerability. Remember 9-11? Remember the havoc that it caused for the economy? The market? The airline industry? It doesn't take a Rhodes scholar to figure out that another series of coordinated terrorist attacks in several major cities could break this country. The country would come to a standstill. We have not done enough to protect homeland security. Terrorists have come across the Mexican border...walked right in. Same with the Canadian border. The Bush doctrine has been a disaster. And it appears that the Gloop doctrine would be 5 times worse. Orca
