brucie,

I agree that he needed to be gotten rid of. From the evidence AT THE TIME, I feel we were justified in going in. It was NEVER about 9/11- but it was about a source for terrorist WMD.

IMO, it is NOT about oil- we are spending more, and have less control over the oil than we did even under the Oil for Food program. The European countries that protested did so because of oil- but the US is not getting oil out of this-we are using it up. Check past threads- we are buying gas from Kuwait to sell at a cheaper price to the Iraqis. The whole "blood for oil" is a slogan that has no meaning. Unless you want to say US blood for European oil.

I am still not sure there are not WMD in the area, from Iraq. The report is quite clear that it DOES NOT address the possibility of WMD being moved out of Iraq to, say, Syria. When WMD are concerned, I would rather be pessimistic and be pleasently proved wrong, than be optimistic and be dead.

Of course, around here that makes me a target, anyway.
