Do you deny that the weapons inspectors were there in 2002? What were they there for if there were no WMD? They were not there to go on a treasure hunt - they knew that the weapons existed because we had seen them back in 1991. They were there to account for their elimiination.

Saddam Hussein refused to co-operate. In a post 9/11 world- Saddam Huseein could not be allowed to possess those weapons. A multi-national coalition agreed and took action.

Where did they go? There was plenty of warning given - and Saddam Hussein likely shipped them over to Syria (a happy thought - NOT!).

He precipitated the invasion by his inaction and stonewalling. He could still be alive today and in control of Iraq had he not given the rest of the world the middle finger.

Learn the truth - stop believing lies from the historical revisionists and political opportunists.

Politicians from both sides in the U.S.A. publicly stated that he did. A U.N. resolution required that Saddam Hussein dispose of his WMD arsenal or face reprisals. The inspectors were not their on a "treasure hunt" - Saddam Hussien was required to account for the weapons.

In a post 9/11 world, especially with al-Qaeda being active in Iraq, we could not afford to allow that arsenal to exist. President Bush organized a coalition and garnered U.N. support for an invasion - and the coalition went in. By the time they got there the weapons were gone. Where did they go? Saddam Hussein had plenty of warning since we had to pussyfoot around to satisfy the Democrats who insisted on risking our national security so that they could attack a Republican president. A senior Iraqi Air Force officer stated that he saw the weapons being shipped across the border to Syria.

Saddam Husein could have avoided that invasion - but his actions precipitated it. He is responsible, just as he was responsible for gassing the Kurds, murdering, torturing, and raping his own people, oppressing women, and being a bully in a sensitive geopolitical area - the Middle East.

Iraq was liberated, improved, democratized, and the world is safer because of that and Saddam Hussein is now dead.

I will not allow Democratic revisionist history to stand or go unchallenged on this topic when I encounter it.

Want to supply another war - the causes for which you need me to explain?


I just did.
