Politics is always going to cause a stir, I don't see the necessity of continuing to bring it up.
As for your views on the war though Yeager, I am completely not with you there. Just cus you have the power does not mean you should use it by any means. I have yet to see weapons of mass destruction found in Iraq, seems like Powell is even sorry he went in front of the U.N. and backed the war. Heard too many sad stories about folks not coming home already... how many more are we going to bury in the next 4 years? War should be the last alternative, not something we carry out without proper backing.
I know those bombs are really pretty when they explode on the fox news alerts, but its time to put this Iraq silliness to an end. Go after Bin Laden, but right now we look like a war touting country trying to influence and ultimately take over the world. And everyone wonders why terrorism is on the rise from other nations?
BTW, this is my last post on the subject... want to talk about fun things, like why do 110s always have to try for the HO first. This politics garbage is ruining my karma
Howizter, when America declared war on terrorism, we didnt declare war on just bin Laden and Al-Qaeda, we declared war on ALL terrorists. Saddams links to AQ were weak at best, but he had links to other terrorist organizations and helped them. That has been documented. There were also at least 2 terrorist training camps in Iraq.
As far as Sadaams WMD go, no, we havent found any yet. (We might not ever find any) However, we did find 500 tons of weapons grade uranium and we have found evidence of 1 and 2 man research teams that were trying to keep the research going.
It wasnt just the US that had faulty intel on his WMD programs, most of the world felt that he still had WMD.
Who knows what else we will find buried in the sand in Iraq, we have already found MiG's and ammo/weapons caches buried, and lots of bodies......
Only time will tell Howizter
