BB, I don't want to get into a pissing match with anyone, but what I don't understand is why do you insist on starting in the middle? I repeat, we had no business invading Iraq in the first place. All the crap flows from there, not from his supposed refusal to comply with the UN resolutions.
He was ordered to get rid of his WMDs. He did. He sent them to Syria, but he could not let Iran know that he was without them. Iraq was never a threat to us until we invaded them. Were they a threat to Israel? Doubtful. Israel has proved in the past that they are not to be messed with, and they don't need no "steenking" permission to take out a threat to their existence.

If you cross the Bush mafia you are branded a traitor or a homo, even if you are a loyal republican.
