We are in Iraq because Saddam couldn't stop invading other countries and wouldn't cooperate with UNSC mandates. Wrong. He had stopped his invasions after he didn't have Reagan/Bush behind him egging him on. And in 2003, we invaded Iraq for the oil. You failed to read the entire statement UI made. Iraq continues to control its own oil. We have seized nothing. Why do liberals believe such silly falsehoods? We're in Afghanistan because the Taliban allowed AQ to use their country as a base for attacks against us. We were in Afghanistan to capture bin Laden.....which didn't happen........another one on the list of Bush failures. Remember.....bin Laden was the perpetrator of 9/11; not the Taliban. OBL didn't do commit 911 and the other anti-American attacks alone. The whole of AQ is our enemy and the Taliban and AQ were/are tied at the hip. The Taliban govt defied our demands to turn over OBL and other AQ leaders and stop their operations in Afghanistan. AQ was a crucial support to the Taliban in their civil war against the Northern Alliance. I note that you would prefer to have left the Taliban in power. Our interventions are a result of ME instability getting out of hand, not the cause Read your history dude. I have.
