It wasn't necessary to invade iraq, you are correct. OTOH, what excuse does the left have for allowing a merciless killer to rule iraq? That his rule caused so much hatred in his country is hardly the fault of George Bush. Saddam should have been take out the first time the US went in. That was the mistake.

But how many bodies does the left feel should be stacked up before we say stop. The Left is saying on TV that George Bush should think about the slaughter in Darfur. How Dare they, these people are once again being slaughtered by Muslims, how is that George Bush's business? If the left is trembling in fear in Iraq, what on earth will they do if Bush sends soldiers there and they start dying?

The problem is either you stand for something or you do not. The Left in the United States has proven it stands for retreat. The left has been less successful than George Bush at dealing with radical Islam, that is why Radical Islam is hoping for a Democratic win in the next election, because they know that the Democrats will run.

Wrong again fishy. All one needs to do is read the Iraq Survey Group report, the Senate Intelligence Committee Report & the 9/11 Commission report for starters.

Everything I stated sans the "Mission Accomplished*" BS is 100% factually supported in those reports. I can't help it that the DNC, MSM, & moonbat left have become willful, treacherous liars purely for political gain.

Pelosi War Plan Guards Against Risk of Victory

Satire from ScrappleFace
By Scott Ott on Global News

(2007-03-13) — The Democrat timeline for pulling U.S. troops from Iraq is designed to protect the United States against what House Speaker Nancy Pelosi calls “the threat and consequences of victory.”

The California lawmaker told reporters today that while Republicans focus on how the Democrat proposal undermines the troops and leads inevitably to defeat, “few have paused to consider the risk of victory.”

“A major triumph in the war on terror in Iraq would cause immeasurable political upheaval in the United States,” said Rep. Pelosi. “Unemployment would increase, especially among career politicians who opposed the president’s strategy. Countless millions of dollars would be wasted on doomed political campaigns.”

The Speaker noted that Democrats would be hardest hit by “the unfair distribution of misery” in the wake of a victory in Iraq.

With Iraq as a U.S. ally, trade would increase between the two nations, Rep. Pelosi said, creating more competition in international markets, and another place to which U.S. jobs might be outsourced, thus dealing a blow to domestic labor unions.

Tourism to Iraqi resorts and historical sites would eventually draw travelers away from similar destinations in the U.S. and Europe, she said.

In addition, with the second-largest petroleum reserves in the world in the hands of a U.S. ally, fuel prices at the pump could plummet below $2 per gallon, threatening the livelihood of convenience store owners.

Rep. Pelosi said the Bush administration has not even begun to consider the devastating impact on the self-esteem of Muslim fundamentalists should the Iraqi government ever become able to secure its own streets and borders.

Finally, Rep. Pelosi noted that if the Republican strategy for victory in Iraq succeeds, the United States will lose its best opportunity in a generation to inaugurate either a women, or an African American as president.
