Funny how I don't EVER remember that reason being given in the numerous speeches about the reasons why we should go to war in Iraq.

Did you ever read the congressioinal proclamation? It's on the web. Find it and read it for yourself. WMDs is only one reason of many for going to Iraq.

Once again, you tell other people to look for things to prove your claims...

Show where in this congressional proclamation any mention of alliance with Israel was mentioned...

1. Congress doesn't make proclamations.
2. The President is in charge of treaties and meeting with foreign leaders.
3. America supports Israel explicitly. We have a brisk trade with them, and we also give them hella funding, not to mention the fact we helped create Israel in the first place.

I finally got a chance to watch this. Pretty interesting. I find that people use their faith to justify personal beliefs, however immoral they may be.

There is little doubt that the world in general is more liberal than it was 50 years ago and beyond. Conservatives are simply roadblocks on the path to an ever more progressive and liberal world. What a sad existence.

I believe he's talking about an actual binding contract. An actual alliance that binds the contracting parties together to help each other out militarily under international law...not just a friendship.
