You posted a percentage of Americans (many of whom believe Iraq was running al-Q) who think it was the right thing to do to attack Iraq.

I consider that that poll shows nothing about the wisdom of the administration's approach, and to show why, I asked you a simple question, which you answered well and honestly.

You showed that you know that a poll on the subject of whether it was "the right thing" to topple a monster would be irrelevant to whether it had been in fact in our national interest and had been in fact an effective approach to defeating terrorism and al-Q.

I would support a special forces operation designed to free the thousands of people trapped in Nazi like torture camps though.

I wouldn't, but only because I don't think it would work very well.
