Saddam was an evil dictator who deserved what he got. Death by hanging. The world is better off without Saddam......regardless of whether WMD's were found.

The war could have definitely been managed better.....for example, the US could have assassinated Saddam with a sniper of something.......the real motive for going into Iraq was OIL.....

however, people have to remember 9/11......and the fact that there has NOT been an attack on US soil since 9/11......something is working.

Saddam WAS an evil dictator. He needed to go. Was it worth over 4000 American lives? I say no...

I agree with you on the oil part.

Yes Saddam was evil, but someday you'll understand that the "official reason" this war was started by the U.S. was a total sham. I actually think W wanted to get even for an attempt on his father's life.

I think that fact is :clap worthy and does not get enough press.

That's an assumption. It's kind of like working in an Aviation Safety Department. You don't ever know if your strategies are really working until the next accident. BTW, I am very happy there have been no other attacks, but that does not excuse the war...

So is this:

The hell it is. Has there been an attack, yes or no? If yes, FAIL - if no, PASS. No assumptions in that. No middle ground, as that's about as black and white as you can have something.

and in no way was I using that fact as an excuse for the war, of which at this point there is not one (an excuse, that is)

And I'm sorry.....But I can already see the "ringer" getting pitched right now.

"HEY LOOK...IT'S A FRIKKEN BOMB!!!"

"You just dropped that in the sand.."

"No I didn't"

"Yes you did"

"No...No I didn't"

It's completely absolutely obvious that you don't understand the concept of how effective a program is by judging how many attacks there have been. But you can't say the program has not been effective either. It's still an assumption. If there is an attack tomorrow, would you say the program is no longer effective?

It's completely obvious that you don't understand the concept of successfully NOT being attacked. We have no way of knowing how many threats have been thwarted, but are you naive enough to believe there has not even been ONE threat to the US since 9-11?? If you say YES, then I have an explanation for a lot of things you post.

The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding being attack or no attack. In this case, none.

IF there was an attack tomorrow, then the system would be a complete failure, and I have already stated as much if you care to remove your partisan leftist blinders and actually absorb what is being said instead of railing against any and everything you percieve as not being a Democrat position.

IF Obama was a Republican and McCain a Dem, and their positions were exactly the same, your allegiances would be reversed??
IF we never invaded Iraq, gas would be $1.50??
IF we left Hitler in power, we'd be speaking German right now??
IF Lincoln had appointed Butler instead of Grant, you'd own yourself a couple of slaves??
IF a frog had wings, it could fly.

IF as an argument or counterpoint sucks, aight?

I have about 100 of those. I had to cut it off...

One I left out was, "IF BB@TW would douche his ass every once in a while, delta tango's dick wouldn't stink so bad." :ninja

Sorry, you left yourself wide open on that one... :D
