One last time

Let me state that Saddam's WMD was not why I supported this war, and still support it. Those who are whining now that "Bush Lied! People Died!" are caught in the LBJ timewarp. Bush used the WMD assessments as a makeweight argument, but they were never the sole or even the best argument for removing Saddam. For me, the main factor was that he was crazy enough to use nukes if he ever got ahold of them. After all, he fired missiles at Israel during the Gulf War and used nerve gas on the Kurds. He started two wars with neighboring states in 10 years. A guy that reckless should not be allowed to control a country with as much strategic importance as Iraq.

Subsequent events have shown that the war was more than justified. At the time, we didn't know about the Oil-for-Food fraud or the degree to which Saddam had bribed his way into the U.N. and the governments of France and Russia, not to mention journalists and Quislings like George Galloway.

If you still think this war was unjustified, there's no reason to talk any further to you. You're either not serious, stupid or profoundly deluded, if not all three. Don't waste my time. Go sit at the feet of Jimmy Carter and listen to how he rescued Iran from the Shah.
