Personally, I wish we hadn't invaded Iraq, but we're there now and I'd like to see a successful conclusion. You're playing the 20/20 hindsight game and looking for confirmation that the invasion was not only a mistake but one that should have been recognized at the time. I don't buy that you or the majority of your party were so smart. Those that opposed did so because they always oppose use of the military. Others, like Hilary, did their own research and came to the conclusion that they would support the invasion. Only now, with the political winds blowing the opposite way, folks like Hilary want to claim they were duped and mislead. I find that hilarious. The dupees now want to be recognized as having had miraculous prescience.....so which is it?

I believe removing Saddam was appropriate base solely on the facts. They speak for themselves. And many of those facts have been cited already today. You "feel" Saddam's removal was wrong in face of overwhelming evidence to the contrary. And most of the reasons you cite are reality defying, so much so that many of them appropriately can be considered intentional lies since those who spew them have been confronted repeatedly with irrefutable facts that discredit them.
