The media, Obama, and many Americans are once again banging the drums of WAR!

I'm gonna go ahead and say "nearly all Americans thought there was evidence of WMDs" is a great stretch.

That WMD debacle is one of the points of embarrassment the rest of the world mocks America for, but we tend to assume the average person didn't fall for it. Are you calling most Americans gullible? Because that's what we all saw.

"At the end of the Gulf War, Saddam Hussein and his elite military units were still in power and in possession of huge stockpiles of deadly weapons. In April 1991, the U.N. Security Council created UNSCOM, a special commission to find and dismantle this arsenal. The U.N. imposed economic sanctions on Iraq that would be enforced until the country eliminated all nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons capability.Two agencies were charged with the task. UNSCOM would uncover and destroy Iraq's biological- and chemical-weapons and ballistic-missile programs; the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) was charged with uncovering and dismantling Iraq's clandestine nuclear program.
From 1991 to 1998 UNSCOM and IAEA carried out numerous inspections in Iraq, but with varying degrees of success.
For the first few years, Iraqi officials failed to disclose much of their special weapons programs to the inspectors. In 1995, Saddam Hussein's son-in-law Kamel Hussein defected. He had been in charge of the bioweapons program and revealed to UNSCOM that there was a vast arsenal of weapons they had failed to uncover, including biological weapons, and described how the Iraqis were hiding them. This was a breakthrough for the inspection teams, and they continued their work until 1998, when Iraq blocked further access and expelled UNSCOM.
What follows is a summary of what IAEA and UNSCOM had found in Iraq, up until 1998."

"Washington—Sunni extremists in Iraq have occupied what was once Saddam Hussein's premier chemical-weapons production facility, a complex that still contains a stockpile of old weapons, State Department and other U.S. government officials said.
U.S. officials don't believe the Sunni militants will be able to create a functional chemical weapon from the material. The weapons stockpiled at the Al Muthanna complex are old, contaminated and hard to move, officials say
Nonetheless, the capture of the chemical-weapon stockpile by the forces of the Islamic State of Iraq and al-Sham, known as
ISIS or ISIL, the militant group that is seizing territory in the country, has grabbed the attention of the U.S."

seems to be a lot of evidence of wmd's in iraq,being shipped out of iraq and still being found in iraq
was it just an excuse to invade? yea
blitzkrieg is not how i would have handled the situation but thats what international law calls for
my way would have been assassination,which is against international law

no we were the only ones to have the guts to try and do something, while the rest of the world closed their eyes.
gullible?
as the previous post shows we were not the only ones

[gsj68]

when thing cross my imaginary line i tend to go Sun Tzu

so kill them,kill them all,toss their bodies in a pit and burn them,keep moral high ground but use and damage their believes as much as possible

i will agree that at this time in history i should not exist,the meek should have inherited the world but it seems the meek are just meek and ill equipped to deal with murderous evil

violence has been,is,an for the foreseeable future will be the answer

Yes, you went in and found nothing. Way to stand up to nothing while we closed our eyes to nothing.

There was nothing, we knew there was nothing, you were told there was something, you believed it and found out what we already knew.

There was nothing.

And yet you still argue like you did something.

if the world would not have been crying about it, we could have went earlier and found them.

but hey, we just let millions of fellow humans die and say we are compassionate.

Oh, right, they just vanished into thin air. It's not that they were never their, Saddam was actually Copperfield.

It is difficult to go to war when you don't know who you are going to kill. Is ISIS going to dress in a consistent uniform so we kill only them? I love how bombing is portrayed as almost humanitarian by the media instead of the act of war that it is. Right now I don't see a need for any troops besides those on surveillance that will blow them to smithereens if they try to leave their country.

And I love how you say that Obama gave in to the GOP.

Just shows how completely out of touch you really are.

Actually it shows how insane it is for ANYONE to support the GOP when you bring this type of mentality.

I'm sure you probably still think Obama really is some huge Liberal, socialist, Maoist nonsense....when in reality almost every liberal has grown tired of Obama's CENTER RIGHT position.

Ever notice that there's a person here who only posts negative things towards alex, and never actually adds to the conversation?

No no. He's a communist Nazi witch zombie wolfman vampire who eats baby faces and craps AIDS epidemics.

So far, anyway. I'm sure there's more to come.
