I guess we gotta start somewhere and we started with Iraq. But someone decided the US needed to give charity and fix the country after we toppled the government and now we're paying too much. I'd support a war in Iran only if our men didn't go in.

Many of the above mention didn't support the Iraq war...but that train left the station anyway. As for the WMDs I really don't think he had them but b/c Iran was really packing I believe he had to maintain a bluff card.

He had them at some point. We've got at least some of the receipts and France, Russia and China probably have binders full of them.

I'm just saying America doing anything would be lose-lose both at home and abroad.

I think if America would have used all of it's resources to go after Bin-Laden and found him instead of going to war w/ Iraq it would have been a win-win situation.

What would we have done? Created a giant search party with 200,000 troops to walk around the deserts and mountains.

Good point, not to mention that we could have taken out Bin Laden during the Clinton Administration but he f*cked that one up.

Maybe about 80,000 troops, I believe that would be more then enough to find him.

The first thing it would do is make the so called war on terrorism look legit also by capturing Bin-Laden(The poster boy for terrorism) it would make many of the love ones of 911 victims feel some sense of relief.

Listen I agree that we need to catch him and punish him. I do.

But in terms of preventing something, catching him wouldn't stop the cells all over the world that operate independently from working. So I don't see how it would bring legitimacy to a war on terror when really catching Osama is a war of punishment.

I don't believe that catching Bin-Laden would be a war on punishment but it would be a blow to the so call war on terrorism (I use the term so call b/c any war on terrorism that won't address the Saudi Kingdom is bogus) that's my opinion.


It was also revealed that the mobile labs found in Iraq in the early stages of the war were not used to build or move WMDs....also Colin Powell is changing his tune about the reasons for the war.
