Cheney: No link between Saddam Hussein, 9/11 (dictators, state, news, capital)

[ELOrocks17]

I've said before, you need to pick your battles. It wasn't the time for Iraq.

When was the time? When Saddam aquired nuclear weapons?

Where there was the intelligence to know that's what should have been done, there was no courage. Not in the Democratic Party and certainly not in the Republican Party. And that famously "liberal" media was just as culpable because they were the ones with the spoons in their hands feeding the public.

Although I am a proud conservative,I do agree that the 21 democrat senators who voted no on the resolution did in fact "stick to their guns" I do not agree with their ideology but I respect that.Now the Clinton administration had the same intel and Bill Clinton himself was for the war,he was no fan of Saddam either.Also I said in the posts qouted that I am either glad Saddam was dead,or that he should have been removed,I did not say anything on the war other than my mixed feelings.I think we should have done a better job with the taliban.Instead of letting the northern alliance go in we should have carried that burden.But hey we are all just "monday night quarterbacks"

Saddam never surrendered, all we had was an agreement of truce, and Saddam violated it, along with all the UN resolutions. Part of what Bush did was to enforce the truce Saddam signed and the UN resolutions.

Yeah I'm not sure why the UN has stopped short of calling the crisis there "genocide". That's troubling.

However I would call the Janjaweed a terrorist group, and there were no WMDs in Iraq either.

Not necessarily. N Korea has nuclear weapons. We have no plans to invade N Korea. It would depend on Iraq's presumed intent.

Yeah, something else we can thank Clinton for, which was given to N Korea under the "intent" to create energy..

p.s. NOW Iraq is one of our allies, so in a way, we created two allies in the middle east, Iraq, and Afghanistan.

What right wingers (Nazis) don't seem to understand, is the difference between rape and a marriage vow.

One involves force, and the other involves mutual agreement without fraud, coercion or force.

We should have let the UN deal with it. We're not the UN. We're only a member.

Hate to tell you but "Nazis" were left wingers, they believed in government controlling and limiting freedoms..
