"The war wasn't needless, but many ignorant leftwingers believe it was." What did we "win" Dave? Why did we need it? Do we still need it?

"This is a left-wing lunatic position, borne of ignorance, BDS and free-floating hostility. The war wasn't needless" This is the position of about 60-70% of americans. You make a fool of yourself when you think that only liberals think this war was needless. Haven't you noticed your ass got whooped in the last 2 elections as a result? In you delusion do you attribute Bush's failure to Media bais? Do you have any ability to learn from mistakes? "Most important is the fact that now we have a working democracy, an ally, in the center of the middle east where we did have a bitter enemy which was chronically bringing us to the brink of war and backing off, which required the maintenance of no-fly zones, which was taking daily pot-shots at our aircraft, and had violated numerous times the cease fire agreement that allowed him to stay in power." You know very well, we went to war because of imminent threat from WMD and Saddams link with Al Queda, not to spread democracy or remove the evil Saddam to save his people from his attrocities. Only crooks like Cheney, Wolfowitz and Rumsfield decided to repackage the purpose of war after no WMDs were found and morons like you bought it. "I fear we've elected one who is even less competent than CLinton." Obama may or may not be competent than Clinton. But Bush's lack of intelligence/curiosity, arrogance and complete inability to communicate has set the bar for a president so low, that it is impossible to be less competent than him.
