I'm suggesting it doesn't take a rocket scientist to look at a map and plot where our known enemies are. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand why taking the fight to the terrorist was the lesser of all evils. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that Iraq and its murderous dictator were ripe for the taking.
The sad part is that people actually listen to this government when it speaks. I didn't need to hear GWB speak to understand what was actually being said. Liberals have never been known for extraordinary foresight. Their constant cackling over the Iraq War is solid proof. All you needed was a map, and you would have been enlightened.
As someone who studied the history of the ancient Near East in great detail, I never had any doubts regarding the strategic nature of that particular location nor did I doubt that there were many reasons more substantial than the nonsense cooked up by the remarkably unimaginative Bush administration.
My major point of contention is and always has been the lies told and lives lost in order to perpetrate this exercise in eminent domain.
Surely we could have simply paid Saddam off and been done with it.
I stopped here because if you dont know the fact that it iwas, then I dont know what else to tell you.. TERROR CAMPS WERE OPERATING INSIDE OF IRAQ...
Was the US case to invade Iraq based on the presence of terror camps or on the presence of WMDs? You are distorting the record here. The US invaded Iraq because Bush claimed there were WMDs in Iraq. That's what we were led to believe. That was the case presented to the UN. It was not about terror camps. Terror camps were an afterthought. Only when it dawned on the dimwit Bush and his supporters that there were no WMDs of any significant amount in Iraq did his rhetoric pivot into "terror camps". There were terror camps in many countries. There were terror camps in Yemen, Somalia, North Africa, Southeast Asia. Pakistan. How come Bush didn't attack those countries?
I saw it coming but of course some people here called me crazy and made fun of me. When you are an Intel Analyst in the Military you come across all kinds of information that you think are completely out of this world - you obviously can't disclose it even though sometimes you wish you could. I am no Bradley Manning.
I just wish the government would actually tell us the truth about certain things but National Security is more important.
It doesn't take much to make you wonder about anything. It would be a good start if you paid attention to what people are posting.
I am paying attention

Try to follow along with the conversation and stop lying about what I said, because I made no such claim.

The fact that they claimed WMD's where there
1) Was validated when they found mustard gas and other toxins
2) Doesnt change the fact that terrorist camps were IN Iraq

First, Saddam had eleven months to do what he wanted with removing things. The UN blocked us that long, so don't make like he couldn't hide what he wanted to.
Tens of thousands in mass graves.
Thousands of children in jail.
Torture rooms.
Tons upon tons of yellow cake and chemical WMD found in separated drums.
He was shooting at planes over the no fly zone and was trying to buy more WMD.
Please, it didn't hinge only on the WMD.
It doesn't matter. Not at all. We took the fight to the terrorists. They showed up, we fulfilled our end of the deal. Now Osama is dead. The only failure is your ability to reconcile this inconvenient truth.
I think you are having trouble reconciling that Obama got Osama, not Bush.
are you TRYING to claim that the pre-9-11 training camps in Iraq were al qaeda training camps? that is a bit of a stretch and I don't think you can point to a page number that concluded that...

So you single handidly have evidence that the 911 commission report was wrong? I'm anxiously awaiting for it..
