>>And not finding WMD's does not change my opinion that Saddam was a threat.

This seems to me to be the root of the whole thing.

We obliterated the Iraqi military during the first gulf war. I served in the Marine Corps
on the Port of Jubail, Saudi Arabia from August 1990 to April 1991, and I saw all the captured
military equipment we took from the battlefields. This equipment was at the time severly outdated,
and as I said before, was no match for us.

Since there was a UN embargo against Iraq, and we were blockading the country and patrolling the
Northern and Southern borders, how could Iraq, 12 years later, be a threat to the US? They were no
more of a threat to the US 3 years ago than they were the day after the 1990 war. If anything, the
Iraqi military was even more degraded.

After 9/11, Americans were filled with fear and hysteria. People were scared and angered, and wanted
someone to blame. Bush came on the scene and told the American people that Iraq was involved. Of course
people would support an attack.

Problem is, there was not then, and does not exist now, and credible evidence that Iraw had either WMD's
or ties to terrorist.

Again, I refer you to the CIA'a Iraq Survey Group report which did show some low-level interaction between
Al Quaeda and agents, but the report shows that they had differences of opinion and nothing ever came of it.

Did Iraq hate America? Probably so. Does that justify war? Not in my book.

Again, show the evidence
