So what? Lots of countries have WMD. He had raw materials, presumably the ones we and other Western Countries sold him in the 1980s. Having WMD is not the same as having a viable nuclear program, which was constantly being alluded to by the Bush adminstration.

Then there was the fact he was trying to purchase "yellow cake" anywhere he could.
A "fact" that was discredited by July, 2003.

Oh, don't forget there is the satellite evidence on film showing lines of trucks loaded with "something" leaving Iraq crossing the border to Syria...wonder what was on those trucks? Hmmmm!
Lots of trucks travel between Iraq and Syria. So what?

But then if you are not in support of the deposing of Saddam, you must approve of his rape rooms, throwing people with hands tied behind their backs off of 3-story buildings, mass executions for no reason other than Saddam "took offense," and of course, the murder of thousands of Kurds
Everything you describe (aside from there being Kurdish victims) was perpetrated by the United States and its allies in the Vietnam War. I guess you would've welcomed a Soviet occupation of the United States?

Stopping such horror consistently practiced by less-than-human crud in a country that supported wiping out America upsets you???? Wow!
Supported wiping out America? Can you cite a source for that? Iraq had cordial relations with America until our president double-crossed him.

Honestly that's a tough one to decide whether he really did it or of she's after money.

Well if we use the "Clinton didn't really win because he didn't get a majority" logic that the cons used all through the 90's then yes, Gore did win

If Gore had been President when 9/11 the Republican Congress would have given him zero support. All of that stuff they gave Bush, the Patriot Act, the wiretapping, the suspension of habeas corpus would have been drastically watered down if not denied him altogther. Republicans aren't interested in fighting terrorism when there's a Democrat in the White House

The butthurt remains strong in the far left. Sounds like most liberals understand the truth of Florida but the far left loons that run rampant here do not.

I would say that you are 100% correct in your assumption but then you are dealing with a couple of wildly far left leaners.

Now that you have settled the Iraq war can you tell us whether Algore actually won that election in 2000?

You can be forgiven for 2000, as can anyone else who made that mistake and now realizes it. But for those who voted for him in 2004 they have the blood of innocent Iraqi's on their hands.
