Iraq was not where the terrorists were - there wasn’t much question about that. The question on many conservatives minds was why is he doing this when Osama bin Laden and his jihadists organization(s) were still loose in Afghanistan. Why didn’t we deal full force with KNOWN terrorists in Afghanistan instead of going on this nonsensical venture into Iraq that later tuned into a “doctrine” of invading countries so we can turn them into democracies?

LOL, Bin Laden's dead, and we killed so many of his "second in command" that they can hardly make anymore fake videos. We killed all the terrorists there, except for the ones who fled to waziristan.

Well I’m not sure it all has been fully explained and I agree with you on the starting point of the war. However, at that time, Hussein was mouthing off and had been ignoring the UN Resolutions etc etc...and that was ongoing even before 9-11. Bush, I believe had this on his mind as well. He had advisors that apparently agreed on Iraq being the starting point. Personally I think Osama is dead and felt that from the beginning wave on Afghanistan.
