Actually the "Do you want the smoking gun to be a mushroom cloud" was the primary reason.
Who are you quoting here? I believe you've just made this up and are therefor a propagandist. Is that correct?
The whole "Saddam is a terrible despot/violated U.N. Declarations" is just revisionist history.
That's a lie.
WMD's was the primary reason being pushed by the Bush administration for going to war in IRAQ,
Another lie.
and the apologists are now trying to backtrack.
Backtrack aaginst what?
Despot or no despot, Saddam had nothing to do with 9/11.
Who said he did?
Of course the American people will become divided about Iraq. The reasons we went there were nebulous and ultimately false in many instances.
Only among the terminaly stupid, and they numbered in the thousands.
You'll notice that that American people were completely united in going into Afganistan because the reason we went there were clear and decisive.
Yes, that's the won Obama thought was important and from which he is now retreating.
Your attempt to blame liberals for not supporting the president in Iraq is noted.
Thank you.
Supporting the president does not mean accepting everything the government tells you.
Granted. But it does not mean you lie against your leadership either, and support those who are killing American people.
If the goal was really to get rid of despot brutalizing their people then there are several other nations that should have been higher on the list for invasion than Iraq.
Which one would you have America invade? Tibet?
The Middle East is the source of modern terror but if you can come up with a more dangerous area of the world then we can take a look at it.
