didn't care how many $trillions and losses of life ensued

mindmelt is as phony as a 3 dollar bill... even quoting bible-speak to justify the war-mongering

Well, Sidney, you're wrong on two points. We have plenty of evidence that Iraq is a clear and present danger. His constant ties to all sorts of terrorist organizations is one and his hiding of WMD is another. You are also wrong about Revelations. It says that Israel will be attacked by Magog (Eastern nations, probably Arab states), but that those forces arrayed against Israel will be crushed mercilessly. Anyway, I think all you have to do is see all the atrocities Saddam and his merry band of murderers are committing during this war to connect the dots and realize that if we didn't attack him first, it would have been just a matter time before he unleashed the terrorists on us. And btw everyone, the terrorists joing the war against us in Iraq is a VERY GOOD THING. They are coming at us where we are strong and we will annihilate them. It's better than us sitting here in our homeland and waiting for them to come at us where we are weak. Now we can decimate them and remake that hell hole called the Middle East into something resembling a civilized region. It's funny to think that I was largely conflicted at the beginning of this war. Now I'm all for it, having seen the true colors of the regime and the true dangers we face, if we don't confront them now.

Atrocious. I hated that we went to Iraq under Junior. Chinu and I are in complete alignment on the need to roll back the military and stop getting involved in all these wars. If it wasn't for the massive public backlash against Obama on his aggression on Syria, Obama would have gone to war there. Americans are fatigued, both spiritually and fiscally. We need to stop the wars. Let's fight like China fights, with our economy and our business savvy. That is what wins us power over the long run. Our military might is a symptom of our economic might, not the other way around. China gets this. Apparently we do not and Obama doesn't seem to have learned that lesson fully. The close call in Syria was an example of that.
