Clinton used mass graves as the excuse for Bosnia/Kosovo and they've never been found. He gets a pass.

He promised to be out in one year. It's 8 years later. He gets a pass.

President Bush proposed a war against anyone who harbored Al Qaeda or participated in terrorism. He proposed ridding us of the problem of Saddam BEFORE WMDs became a problem.

He has found evidence of Al Qaeda and numerous ties to a variety of other terrorist organizations.

He has found numbers of weapons configured to carry chemical agents. He has found the technology of WMDs and the Programs of WMDs.

And he has found thousands upon thousands of murder victims in mass graves.

He doesn't need a pass.

Nonetheless, he doesn't get one.

The only answer: Politics.

So very true. Thanks for the ping!

Apart from this is the stability that results from the military occupation of a major country in a regime full of unstable regimes.

Yeah, and you gotta love the "exit strategy" talking point when it comes to Iraq. I'm still waiting for an "exit strategy" in Bosnia.

Well said.

It is good to see this in a mainstream paper.

We will be hearing these stories for many years to come, long overdue.

Just knowing that the world is finally listening may help the Iraqi people heal.
