your feces is sacred

if you truly believe that this is good justification then you are one messed up little fucker.

this "feel good cause we got someone" war pulled massive resources from getting the group actually responsible for 9/11. bush didnt send troops into the area where we knew osama was until 2 weeks later.
for you to say that the invasion was justified cause "hell, we were mad and had to get someone", is the product of a warped and feeble mind.

I never said I agreed with it. I never said it was a good and valid reason. It's not a good justification to go to war. That's stupid and so transparent that it's not even funny.

But we shouldn't have needed 9/11 to get that fucker out of office. What's the point of the UN when their directives get ignored. What's the point of spending hundreds of billions a year on the military when they aren't utilized.

The guy was a known murderer of his own people, he was a known ally and supporter of terrorists (be they al Queda or otherwise), and the fact that he refused to let weapons inspectors inspect his weapons (given his history) should lead to valid concern that he's doing so because he has something he doesn't want people to see.

He should have been removed in '91. But that wasn't the directive, so we let it slide. When it became evident that Iraq was going to ignore the agreement that ended our occupation during Desert Storm, he should have been removed then. But Clinton wanted to try and build a coalition for 10 years. He didn't want to interfere with international affairs. It's like gun control. What's the point of having the laws if no one is going to enforce them.

The excuse that Bush used to invade I feel wasn't faulty (concern over weapons). The timing of the invasion is what's bullshit, and why it wasn't the real reason, but that's stupid because people should have cared about how Sadam was refusing to comply with any orders. How much longer were we supposed to wait to negotiate with the guy and wait for sanctions to work? Another 10 years.

Isn't the risk of going in and finding out he didn't have any WMD and looking like an ass a better option than "negotiating" until a known mass murderer unleases a potential nuclear arsenal?

Can you possibly ever debate anything without dismissing everyone else as stupid and feeble? It's so pathetic.
