Apparently you've forgotten (if indeed you ever knew) that prior to 2003, the entire civilized world was in agreement that Saddam Hussein possessed chemical weapons contrary to agreements he made after he got kicked out of Kuwait - he proved he had them - he used them.

The only real question can be "Where did he hide them?".

Sadaam never had WMDs in 2003. He was lying. Why? Saddens biggest enemy was Iran the Shites and the Kurds. If they knew he didn’t have WMDS, his regime would be in jeopardy. I’m not saying Bush was lying, he wasn’t. Sadaam was the one lying. Iraq never believed the USA would invade. It was another in Sadaams long line of miscalculations.

If there had never been an Iraq war Obama would not have won, mostly likely Hilary would have. Also it is a 100% certainly that George Allen would have won in 2006. We could have stop Hillarycare2 with the filibuster. Conrad Burns, Mike Dewine and Jim Talent most likely lost cuz of the war. Add Norm Cileman to the list too. Instead of 40 senators we’d have had 45 minimum. Enough to stop any stimulus and any socialized medicine. I also think there would have been friction between Hillary and Pelosi that would have prevented congress and the white house from accomplishing much.

It not cowardly to take a second look at the war and ask ourselves if things would have been better had there been no war.
