[QUOTE]Originally posted by glassman: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by blueranger: [qb] saddam was not obeying those that rule the world....and so they decided to take him out... what is wrong with that.... [/qb][/QUOTE]Saddam did disarm...as evidenced by our own military's findings..yes he was a despot, and a war criminal, and he was a fool for not allowing the UN to inspect fully..(stupid foolish pride IMO) those that rule the world did NOT take him out...the US took him out ALONE... AGAINST the rest of those that rule the world with US...this IMO was the biggest error of all...assuming WE RULE the world alone... NOW? the WHOLE rest of the world will be sure to take every advantage to prove to US that we don't rule the world...and that is what i mean by diplomacy (or lack thereof)...making sure you have strong allies and strong relationships with them...we told them all to effoff now we have to pay the price alone.... and we are... i'm not and never have have suggested we abandon our mission there..we have made a commitment to the Iraqi people.. however, the price is already more than triple what we were told to expect, and still growing... the invasion was presented to the American people as a last resort.... remember? it was based on the "fact" that Sadam HAD in his posession WMD that could be used in another 911 attack... from the whitehouse.gov [b]The U.N. and U.S. intelligence sources have known for some time that Saddam Hussein has materials to produce chemical and biological weapons, but he has not accounted for them: * 26,000 liters of anthrax—enough to kill several million people * 38,000 liters of botulinum toxin * 500 tons of sarin, mustard and VX nerve agents [/b] that's no little hole in the desert....and that stuff can't just be stored in a "paint locker", it's very sensitive materials on the one hand "some people" say that Saddam would have gotten sanctions lifted, on the other hand? the same UN element that "some people" say would have given permission to lift the sanction was making a lot of money off of those sanctions... NO, i think they liked the status quo, and if they did decide to give up the goose that layed the golden egg? WE could have blocked any lifting of sanctions at the security council level...it is ridiculous to say that the French would have lifted sanctions on their own... the way i see it? the American TAXPAYER and the American SOLDIER are working their butts off and giving lives and limbs to......what? set up a "democracy" that if allowed to act on it's own will act against US anyway? Saudi Arabia and Iran are going to work very hard against democracy "in our image" surviving there...if WE succeed it will only be by constant vigilence for a very very long time...and that is not cheap......
