Are you really trying to tell us that the conservatives invaded Iraq because they were worried about human rts violations; that the WMD issue was a smoke screen?

Just as the administration has maintained from day one, just as I have maintained from day one, both the human rights situation AND the WMD were grounds for what we did in Iraq.

It is becoming even more apparent that the human rights violations in Kosovo pale by comparison to those in Iraq. Yet you and other liberals supported our attack in Kosovo but not in Iraq. Again, an example of pathetic political motivations in my view.

Any one of several reasons were adequate for us to take Saddam out. In this case, ALL of the several reasons were present. Through some convoluted concept of righteousness, the neo-libs have somehow concluded that a lesser action is appropriate for a greater crime. Only a fake liberal could come up with such nonsense.

I supported the invasion because of a combination of many factors. The human rights issue was one of them but would not have been enough by itself.
