Hate to break it to you but the Pentagon just released yet another report, after going through some 600 memos or so, and once again concluded no link between Saddam an AQ. How many study groups need to come forward with this over and over before you begin to accept the facts?

Edit: And you are forgetting that we were sold the Iraq lie with "Mushroom clouds", "Imminent threat" and "WMD". If Bush had tried to sell the country on Iraq occupation solely on "Funding terrorists" you can bet this never would have gotten the green light.

Again, YOU aren't listening. Bush never stood in front of this country and gave that as his number one reason to invade Iraq. If he did, you'd be hard pressed to find anybody willing to ship our kids off for that.

Furthermore under what right did we have to march into a country that was not threatening us? Funding terrorist does not give a country carte blanche to to whatever they want -Geneva Conventions be damned. Did Saddam attack us on 9-11? No. Did Saddam threaten us? No. Was he in posession of WMD? No. Was he cooperating with UN inspectors? Yes.

What part don't you get?

What's so sad, is most of us can admit that hindsight is 50/50, but even with you guys, it's not, you're still blind to the truth.

The Senate intelligence report did say that AQ and Saddams minions had contact, but there was no operational link.

Show me.
That is beautiful, but you are OK with your brother Obama giving Iran the OK for nukes. Nice!

They voted for a resolution to go to war as a last resort. Many said after voting (In particular Hillary) that it was the most difficult vote in their career and they trusted Bush to use diplomacy until it was exhausted. Bush took that trust and booted the inspectors out, marching into Iraq.

I don't agree. Saddam was not a terrorist but a secular dictator who detested the fundie terrorists and wanted nothing to do with them.

Saddam killed over 10k people and his son's tortured over 1000's of people.

Yes, but were they threatening us? Did they attack us? Nope.

You're right, the difference is that Obama would adhere to the rule of law rather than act like some macho chickenhawk cowboy with somebody else's kids.

So Obama killed over 10K of his own people and his sons tortured over 1000s of their own people and Bush went there to save the USA..

What about the people that actually attacked the USA??
