That was started by Saddam Hussein who refused to co-operate with U.N. weapons inspectors. The entire world knew that Saddam Hussein and Iraq had WMD - we knew going back to the end of the Gulf War. 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.
Man, are you clueless. If you remember, we went all over Iraq and Still can't find any WMD in that country a decade later. As well, there was no Al Qaeda in Iraq until our invasion (I'm sorry..... I mean the Bush/Rumsfeld/Wolfowitz invasion) destabilized that country.
And Mitt has promised to do away with these very kind of life-saving provisions that Obamacare insures:
Two years ago, Kevin F. Porter's daughter Erin, then 6 and living with leukemia since she was 3, "needed a bone-marrow transplant, just as Erin had nearly reached their insurance company’s lifetime cap and would no longer be covered for medical expenses. Then the family learned that a provision of the Obama health-care law had kicked in, barring lifetime caps for children. 'It lifted a huge burden off our shoulders,” her father, Kevin F. Potter, said. “We could have lost it all to pay for a transplant. Like any child’s parents we would have done it, but because of our president we didn’t have to. We could focus on Erin.” Ohio Dad’s Star Turn at Obama Rally - Washington Wire - WSJ
My brother is a trauma surgeon , he and many factions in MD are against romney/ryan agenda.
Because good drs and nurses care about patients and empathy, not insurance company profits and red tape.
Ask any surgeon or nurse who is well-regarded, they know what the GOPs agenda stands for. Death panels in reality. If you arent a billionaire, you dont get a transplant.

Did you not read my post carefully -- and/or have you bought in to the the Democratic revisioninist history?
I explained why we did not find WMD's in country quite clearly - go read my post again.
Also - U.S. intelligence assets contradict you when you claim that al Qaeda wasn't there - they most certainly were - and they were largely responsible for both early resistance and the insurgency.
You need to pay attention to facts or you will forever be confused and easily led as a sheeple like the left wants you to be.

You should be in the manure business....

Seek the truth. I told it.
What assets are these? So Saddam snuck all those chemical weapons and nukes to.......Syria?
And next you'll tell me that emergency rooms provide great care for the uninsured.
