I actually checked the links (the ones I could open) and my question remains: after 16, I said after sixteen - more than a decade and a half - how come we haven't found physical evidence they existed. There should have been photos of stock piles of "captured" WMD but there wasn't even a single snapshot of such. We just have the word of a former general trying to sell a book. Sorry, but if are going to spend $11 trillion and lose thousands of young lives not to mention the thousands who will be wounded for life, I would think you's want more. If, as the general said, they were moved in 2002, why didn't we know since we have that entire region under satellite surveillance since the first Gulf War in 1990? And if they were moved in 2002 and we knew, why go ahead with the invasion?
My ultimate question on this subject remains: Was it worth it? My answer now as it was then is a resounding no!
Considering the alternative was to essentially ignore or even capitulate to al Qaeda without even a fight, essentially surrendering even worse than Vichy France, yes, it was WELL worth it. And don’t think of it as a theory. Bill Clinton had REPEATEDLY done exactly that for eight whole years, no less than 10 times.
