Insulting the president is not my idea of intelligent debate. You have left out numerous other reasons that can justify the war. How about Oil--thats a favorite. Or setting up a middle east base to respond to terror threats? How about saddams historic links to all sorts of bad dudes? How about Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Iran, use of wmds, torture and rape? Chopped liver i guess. And yes he was violating UN resolutions and sanctions were failing or would have failed. The fact that bush&co screwed up the effort, or underestimated the requirements for success or even failed to recognize the possible impossiblity of the war does not remove alot of good reasons for going to war. Its great to operate in a world of 20/20 hindsight. We all do it. You have turned it into a science. By the way did you notice that this so-called news report re: that weapons dump, does not take into account that when our troops got there the weapons were already removed. Guess that just doesnt matter. The means justifies the end when removing President Fudd. Mike
