>>>Dude, you've been watching too many movies. And, as to the Saddam question, I believe I've seen reports of over 100,000 Iraqis being killed by Saddam. I doubt that many have died in the war, but even if they have, it's a war. Saddam killed his own people.

>>It may not be the best defense of the Iraq invasion to say we may have killed fewer people than Saddam did.

>Oh, I never said it was. The best defense is the real reason, all the intelligence pointed to it. Don't forget that just because we haven't dug up the WMD, that doesn't mean it didn't exist. (Haven't we plowed this ground before). As I recall, all the legislators, or at least the leadership, of both parties saw the intel, and they voted to attack - based on the available information. Why do I feel like a voice in the wilderness, or maybe that I'm talking to a statue?<g>

Well, maybe you are talking to a statue <g>. Yes, we have plowed this ground before. I don't fault Congress for authorizing the invasion given the information they were presented. If there is anyone to blame -- and as Tracy just reminded us, this wasn't PROVEN -- it would be anyone who knowingly presented false information, or withheld information, so an invasion would be approved.
