Let me see if I have this right???

Bush invaded Iraq because he was a fraid that Iraq was going to unleash it's WDM's on US... I think that was the original retionale... There was talk of alumimun tibes and nuclear devices and nasty chemicals and, oh yeah, mushroom clouds over our heads...

That was "Excuse Package #1" for invading Iraq...

Does anyone diasgree so far??? If so, there's plenty of Google-able stuff from 2002 that should get everyone, at the very least, to this point...

(For those of you who haven't gotten this far, or refuse to accept this basic bit of history, I am truly sorry for you... Really...)

Okay, so Bush orders up the invasion and as LH has pointed out the superior US military trounced Iraq'a military in a matter of days...

The 5 years ago yesterday, after trouncing Iraq's military We had the big "Mission Accomplished" celebration...

(Everyone still on board???)

Then the hunt for WMD's began and, low and behold, just as many anti-war folks had said, there weren't any???

Hmmmmmmmm???

Okay, given that the "Excuse Package #1" was proved to be wrong and Americans could again sleep well without the threat of waking up to a mushroom cloud, any thinking person, given the "Mission Accomplished" would have have thought, "Great... War is over... Lets go home... Nuthin' here too scarey"

That isn't an opinion... That is just pure simple fact coupled with basic logic...

So tell me again why were are still in Iraq???

I'm serious...
