Re: "Really!?" Really! Given the circumstances, absolutely. Rumsfeld? If you are trying to suggest Rumsfeld is in cahoots with Saddam, or even that Rumsfeld is playing Saddam like a 20 year long tune on a fiddle, then I think...nevermind. Re: "So we invaded!? Tell me, what did we find was going on from our invasion? Did find out how our oil got under their sand?" There was no other way other than removing Saddam to nip the certain threat in the bud. We found out plenty, knew plenty prior to going in, and have more to learn. Your final question above indicates that we will take the oil in Iraq for our own. This will not come to pass. Not doing so is part and parcel of the plan to win "hearts and minds" in the fight aganst terrorism. You will be proven wrong. Re: "Not one" So, you don't want to let one American die at the hands of terrorists. How do you propose accomplishing that? Do you want to concentrate on Afghanistan when Osama's Al Qaeda is probably regrouping in Iran as we write? Re: "How many Americans are you willing to let die at the hands of terrorists while serving in the Middle East?" Far fewer than you would allow to die in America proper if we'd taken your advice and failed to act in Iraq. Re: "9-11 was premeditated murder perpetrated by terrorists." Yupperoo! Re: "Iraqistan is premeditated murder perpetrated by Bush." Nope, it's justified self-defense. Re: "Given your philosophy, the killing of Americans continues and will continue indefinitely." I'm confident the continuing killing of Americans will be miniscule by comparison to the result of failing, by your philosophy, to act in Iraq. Dan B.
