So you agree that “bringing democracy” was not the real reason?
How many times did Saddam have to violate the surrender agreement before the ‘or else’ part of the surrender agreement would happen?
Do you remember what the ‘or else’ part of the surrender agreement was?
It was an immediate return to a state of war, destruction of his military, etc etc etc.
And yes, before you whine it out, a surrender agreement is under duress- that’s why it is ‘surrender’.
And we did find chemical weapons, three mustard gas shells werew turned into IED’s as well as one binary Sarin shell of a type that Iraq did not have prior to 1996 or so.
The info can be found in the Deulfer report IF you’d bother to read it.
I putting words in my mouth is the only way you can keep up, you may want to re-evaluate your position.
Here’s the text. Be sure and tell me where the stuff about the crusade for democracy is:

Oh, and be sure to tell me where any administration official or flag officer who commanded troops in that war has said we invaded the place in order to put democracy there and for no other reason. Be sure you can cite your source.
