No after how many UN resolutions Saddam ignored or violated, did the US return to war. Regardless of WMDs, preemption or whatever, Saddam's failure to comply with UN resolutions violated the cease fire of the Gulf War, this is not Gulf War II, but rather the completion of the Gulf War I for Saddam's failure to comply with the conditions of the cease fire ending hostilities.
dmk | Exactly. I hate it when people say "What there were no WMDs? Then why are we over there?" That is incredibly ignorant. Just because an evil man doing horrible things doesn't have any WMDs means we shouldn't go take him out? We should have just sat arounf and let this man thumbhis nose at us and the international community?
I think not.
We did the right thing, for the wrong reason. But it's still the right thing. | None of the reasons given to the american public turned out to be true. Not one of the many lies. The american public, and obviously many of you, ate it up. Every last bite.
He lied. And you can't accept it because of dumb pride and party affiliation.
Fucking pathetic. |
