Do you think the war in Iraq was justified?

I said "no," and it appears I am the only "no" vote. The Bush administration's assertions regarding how dangerous Saddam was to us are a joke. Yes, he is a tyrant, but he was not an imminent threat to us. You know the drill.....

Oh lord another Iraq poll. Once you see one you see em all.

Personally I feel the UN inspectors should have been given more time. I don't see how the US had to rush to war seeing Saddam "supposedly" had WMD's for a few decades. All the inspectors needed was a couple of months - that's all.

Welcome to DP U.S. Repub!!! Enjoy your stay.

I take it you won't be joining me, Mr. oldreliable?

I said maybe because I beleive Saddam was an awful, awful man to be in power and it was justified for him to be thrown out of power. I just disagree with the way we went there, like rushing in with no plan and not getting enough allies to help.

KC Conservative, wherever you are- I saw your avatar now and I love it! I love to hear about and see good things coming out of Iraq since we mostly hear only bad stuff. Thats a great picture!

Definitely not. George Bush flat-out lied about Iraq having WMDs. I simply don't see how it is possible to have slam-dunk evidence of WMDs, yet not know exactly where they are.

Has the idea of Saddam moving the weapons crossed your mind? We have found burried weapons in Iraq such as Fighter Jets and other large weapons caches. And there is evidence that they may have been moved a cross the border. Saddam is known to bury things.

Okay, accepting that we have found weapons, were they an imminent threat to us? The Bushies made it seem as though a mushroom cloud could come any day. Yeah right!

O.K. First off Bush never said that they were an "imminent threat".
Secondly were did you here that.
