You can look up the Congressional resolutions authorizing the war and see that a lot of charges were made against Saddam. Trying to say the war was about one thing only is inaccurate. There was only one reason for which the American public would support the spilling of American blood and the spending of American money -- and that is if the nation's security was threatened. None of the other excuses - Saddam is a bad guy, Iraq needs to be a democracy, we need to change the Middle East... blah blah blah would have worked. It would have been a good thing if the enemy didn't know we were monitoring calls to the US. OK, now that they know about it, there is no point in any further monitoring right? Then why is Dumbya continuing to spy on us? Also suppose some FISA judge said no, do we then fail to monitor enemy communications cause a judge said no - and possibly let people die as a result? FISA has been a rubber stamp all these 27 years. Of the 14,000 of so requests that were made over the years, FISA had approved all but five. In any case, how would we know if the FISA judge would say "no", when Dumbya didn't even ask?!
