That, I think, is right on the nose.

true, the world is a better place without saddam, the thing is, the U.S. and the world would have been better off if G.W., Rumsfeld, and Dick had taken a few minutes to actually listen to advisement and come up with something that resembled a war plan (maybe even a plan for the occupation and eventual withdrawl).

Going after Bin Laden first for what he, not Iraq, did would have made a bit of sense too.

You’re right. I am hoping against hope. I’m OK with that.

huey55 has a pretty good point about the bombs. Such things aren’t likely to remain connected to the kiddies. Have you any proof?

That cockroach analogy looks like nonsense to me. The ‘cockroaches’– who are in fact human beings it is worth noting– are not collected in Iraq. Most of them are still where they’ve been for years. What Bush has done is increased the numbers of militants/terrorists more than bin Laden could have ever dreamed possible. Thanks George.

You are right about something else though. Following the first gulf war there was an insurgency in Iraq that we encouraged but didn’t support. We should have supported it.

It is good to know that the government’s propaganda machine is still in working order. Congratulations you have been very well indoctrinated.

I don’t care how many Iraqis Sadam killed. It was none of our business and not worth thousands of American lives to turn the place from a dictatorship that was no threat to us to a hotbed of terrorist recruitment and instability. If you wanted to do something about Iraq you should have gotten together with like minded people and done something. Instead you had the government steal my money to do it for you.

The Kurds that were gassed were attacked for supporting Kurdish rebels not for the hell of it. We sold him the main ingredients to make the gas before and after that incident, so I wouldn’t get to high and mighty if I were you. You claim Saddam killed 500,000 of his own people. That may be so, but he was in power for a long time. In the five years we have been in Iraq it is estimated that we have killed between 100,000 and 600,000 civilians depending on whose numbers you believe. Even if you go by the lower 100,000 number we are killing more people a year than Sadam. Think for a second, if you attached an exploding device to a kid and detonated it with enough force to kill the kid would it still be attached to the bones? Don’t believe everything you read.

What Bush has done is the right thing–eliminate a dictator who slaughtered over 500,000 of his own people; who had an on-staff ‘rapist’ rape pre-pubescent children in front of their parents for retaliation of possible subversion of the Saddam regime. A man who gassed to death 30,000 Kurds for the hell-of-it, and as US troops are finding, bones of children with detonators still attatched to their bones, as Saddam tested these detonators to see if they worked; for amusement.

So I must ask: If your home that you live in was infested with cockroaches, where would you rather those cockroaches be? a) All over the house b) All centralized under the refrigerator.

Iraq is “b”, under the frige, as all the cockroaches have assembled there. BUSH has done what should have been done over a decade ago, but the DEMOCRAT CONGRESS would not give him authority unless he agreed to NOT take Saddam out of power. HISTORY will prove our current president Bush correct.
