Nah, hardly confused, just opposed to it in most cases - such as instances where we are not in danger of being attacked. Clearly, any reasonable examination of the facts about Iraq's capabilities reveals that there was no imminent threat to Americans at home or abroad.

I don't accept attacking someone because they "might" harm us "sometime in the future". Heck, I thought it was innocent until proven guilty for everyone, not just who we like. Hussein was evil, I'd have been happy to put two in his head myself, but he sure wasn't about to attack us.

My opinion on the invasion would have differed if we had been told the truth, and the truth really was something like liberation, instead of the lies and hidden motives that actually drove this atrocity. Happy for the Iraqis to be rid of Hussein, but terrible concerned about where our country is headed.

Maybe it's time we drop this left-wing/right-wing label business and stick to finding out the truth?

Are you one of those "free-thinkers"? Funny how they all read from the exact same talking points.

All right let's go there then. And by the way, you don't have to be afraid to post to me.

You realize it has been the official policy of our nation since 1998 to enact regime change in Iraq? You already realize that we have been at a state of war with Iraq for over 12 years. Dubya has moved to end this war. He has moved on the Iraqi Liberation Act. What is the problem?

You can't handle the truth.

Former Clinton advisor on Iraq's PBS interview and on CNN

Funny thing is even the Administration is pointing out the connection well, I guess they are covering for 8 years of bumbling by that last guy in office.

Which did you get your facts from:

And did you see the facts before the U.S. was hit on 9/11? Do you believe this article? Self Proclaimed Al-Queda Group Claims Attacks on US Troops and if you do believe, do you think they are satisfied to stay just in Iraq?

Yes it would be great if you found the truth. I believe that you should realize by now that we use fact/logic to counter your "feelings". BTW, are you so bored that you need to post bs here?

Please allow me to put my two cents in -

We agree that he would hurt us if he could.

I think it is safe to assume that he has billions of dollars to play with.

It is a fact that he has had biological and chemical weapons, because he has used them.

Why is it so hard to believe that he would give them to terrorists as surrogates to attack us? If I were a betting man, I'd bet 4 to one that he would do it.

With these odds, are you willing to wait for another attack on us?

By taking over Iraq, we have sent a message to the Muslim world not to mess with us - plus we now have a base in the heart of the Muslim world which also further puts the potential terrorist Muslim nations on notice. We don't have to bribe Turkey anymore for their permission to land.

This - to me - is reason enough to take over Iraq. How would you like the responsiblity for the lives of 280 million people?

I'm sure if you were cautious - you would also err on the side of caution.....

So, tell me, what were your prior usernames? The rubber I smell is that of a retread.
