do you want some Ebola with your order of Fruitbat?

Hussein had no WMDs for us to find.

Or could it be, he had months and months of "UN debate time" in which to destroy, hide or disseminate them?

Regardless, the myth that somehow George W. Bush invented the WMD scare needs to end. The entire Western world believed Saddam did have them.

Illegal war.

Chapman is categorically incorrect in that assertion. ISIS now has control of al Muthanna, which was Saddam's primary chemical weapons depot. Story HERE and HERE and HERE and a bunch of other places. If Chapman meant "Saddam didn't have enough current chemical weapons to justify intervention" then he should have said that. What he did say was wrong.

This guy doesn't know what he's talking about. Isis definitely has the potential to attack us here.

Saddam did have wmd and now isis has thousands of nerve gas weapons, commandeered at al tuaitha.

I wouldn't bring up Kosovo as a "successful" war.

I know soetoro is not sincere about fighting the moHAMmadens. That will have to wait for President Cruz to do.
