There was a PBS documentary titled Bush's War that made a very good case the war was based at best on a very biased assessment of available intel and at worst outright deception and lies from the administration. Little/nothing has been offered to refute those allegations.
You conveniently ignore this.
Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitiz, and others were pleading with Clinton to invade Iraq in 1998. Under Bush they rose to power and completed their goal, likely pushing bush with the idea of revenging the man that threatened his daddy.
Saddam, bad guy, no argument, and none of our f--ing business, as he was impotent to do much from Iraq.
Using the argument of the OP, if this is the criteria (how a leader treats his people) to go to war, then why in hell haven't we invaded North Korea?
CIA Director George J. Tenet gave that is was a slam dunk speech. This solidified the war and Bush just ran with it. Collin Powell was a puppet to that administration for the reasons given that he was a military man and he just fell in line. What was the rush to go to war any way? War isn't something that when ends it will be forgotten over night. This is why the intel should be checked, double checked, triple checked and checked again to make sure everything adds up.
In time when the real classifieds are released we then will learn the truth and who knew what when. Right now everything is just speculation leaning to the truth trying to decipher a pack of lies.
You are aware that Joe Biden is running against John McCain, who supports our effort in Iraq, right? And, being a politician, is more interested in getting elected into office than what is best for our country? (this goes for all politicians).
You also know that Mr. Biden supported the original Iraq War Resolution, right?
It must be nice to be a senator and be able to change your decisions on a whim. So much more difficult for a president to have to live with a decision, whether it is good or bad.
Ain't it the truth.
I don't even know why I'm posting here, it's falling on deaf ears anyways. but, I have a good supply chain for all of the duct tape and plastic I can get for those WMD's. I think some C-D users forgot to mention ********.

This video was from before he was tapped for the VP spot so his speech on the Senate floor has nothing to do with being elected to office... I am aware he supported the war at first...He was lied to. He was misinformed. Once he learned the truth, he changed his mind. What would you like him to do? Be in denial and lead us down a path of war and human loss because of a complete lie? Oh wait, that is where we are already...Others (not mentioning any names) are overcome with the idea of 'LOSING' a lost war. NO matter how many lives are lost over this lie, we must not lose. What kind of warmongering mentality is that? This war is and was a farce. Stop wasting our money, human lives and energy there already.
I will be pleased if we stay out of a war with IRAN in the remaining months of this administration. This administration would start a war with IRAN just to spite Aongress and the American people so there would not be any dimuniation of the flow of borrowed money into the neocon contractors' coffers.
Americans were herded into a response that allowed the government more control over them.
We are nothing more than slaves to corporations with banks pulling all the strings. Don't believe it? then why did a bailout for the banks occur when most of America opposed it?
