Either way, it is good we went in there. Now, I hope we get serious about dealing with terrorists. When that happens, we will make real progress in rebuilding Babylon... Don't count on it.....its time for regime change in the US! Yay!

Yeah right, Saddam was ready to drop a bomb on Your Town, USA. A real imminent thret to Walmart and McDonalds. Saddam had absolutely zero to do with 9-11. He was just a right-wing dictator creep who Bush's father's boss Reagan used to arm with everything we had in the arsenal short of nukes. Used to kill hundreds of thousands of Iranian kids they used in human waves. And now they find the mass graves Hannity keeps talking about and blame them on Saddam, when some of our weapons were used for those massacres. During that war, Rumsfeld himself was the point man arming Saddam. And we always bought Iraqi oil of course. No problem. Even during the embargo we bought Iraqi oil. In fact, Iraqi oil has always been at the center of the Bushie interest in Saddam. Oil, oil, oil. If not, he'd be like Myammar, another dictator we choose to largely ignore.

Johannes, are you for real or are you just pretending to be a fool when you say: >>????"Still not so sure WMDs are not there. But it seems they are not. Yay! Thanks George for putting my mind to rest on that minor point of difficulty....If the WMDs are found, then yay! Glad to see they finally cracked Saddam's web of deception....Either way, it is good we went in there..."????<< I think you'd swallow anything with a little GOP syrup on it. All the permanently disabled young Americans, all the dead Americans, all the shattered lives, so much torn apart that can never be put together again, and you are cheering because your leaders finally put your "mind to rest on that minor point of difficulty" by proving that Saddam was not a wmd threat? What a joke. How about this aspect of it; the Muslim world, and non-Muslim world outside of the English speaking world, are hugely more fearful, hateful and suspicious toward the U.S. than they have been in the great history of this nation. Every anti-establishment young radical in the world now has a target to fix his hate filled eyes upon. The world watches us take a toll of men, women and children and they cheer our deaths, AND YOUR SECRETARY OF DEFENSE SAYS THAT WE NEED TO WIN THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF THE ARAB AND MUSLIM POPULATIONS. Get a clue. When there were no WMDs that met the hype the world was given by the Bush hysteria, when there was no evidence of a threat to the world to prove that we needed to invade Iraq to prevent a world catastrophe, then the world confirmed a judgement that it had already made. The judgement that we were either stupid or had ulterior economic or Crusader motives. And you say that "it is good that we went in there." Got any kids in that war, Pilch? Got any idea of what we're going to get out of this when we finally leave and take our wounded and dead with us? Still think that we've taught the Muslim world that they can't mess with a great superpower nation and that the Russian experience in Afghanistan was a fluke? Someday you will finally learn that invasions are won with superior conventional forces but occupations are LOST when the local populations refuse to accept the governance of the occupying forces. It's a death of a thousand cuts, but then you're not bleeding, are you?
