THANK YOU Shelby!
Your post is the perfect extension of the point I am trying to make:
Democrat or Republican, the American people should be standing up and asking our "leaders", WTF are you guys doing?
Saddam never was a direct, right now, in-your-face threat to America.
We have sent hundreds of thousands of our men and women into harms way for NOTHING.
And yet 50% of the people polled still want to cling to a "bogey-man".
I want to vote for the man who stands up and says:
"OK America, heres are the real reasons we are in Iraq: we want control of thier oil, we want to maintain strategic air and ground bases in Iraq, we want secret control of the emerging Iraqi government. We want to be in a strategic position to nuke Iran, North Korea, and maybe Pakistan and Syria if needed, the real threats."
Now give me a man like that, and I will grumble about the war and argue about it, but at least there would be a reason to be in Iraq.
To go there shouting "War on terrorism", "Saddam is a threat", and "Weapons of mass destruction", is an insult to the American people and our armed forces.
That rant was kinda fun

Reason: oops, forgot Syria
In spite of all evidence to the contrary, the entire universe is composed of only two basic substances: Magic and bullshit.
