I don't want to spend a lot of time refuting the now long-proven-to-be falsehoods, so here are quickie answers which everyone knows anyway.
If these were “long-proven-to-be falsehoods”, seems like you could provide at least a shred of evidence to support your partisan ranting.
You say that it was a mistake for Big Bush to refrain from starting the giant war which Little Bush later stupidly created.
Would you back up the crap you keep saying, for once? Please quote where I said that. You’re just making shit up.
We were stupid to not negotiate better terms of surrender. It was widely acknowledged at the time that Storm’n Norman was outfoxed by allowing Saddam the use of helicopters when we pulled out. That use of helicopters resulted in the deaths of thousands in Shia-dominated southern Iraq. These were the very same Shia that we encouraged to revolt against the Saddam regime as we pulled out, leaving them twisting in the wind. I don’t understand how anyone could think that we weren’t stupid to accept those terms.
History has proven that War #2 was a monumental error which has permanently destroyed the U.S.
The US is/was destroyed by the Desert Fox? Did I miss the memo that we no longer exist as a nation? Are we not still a world military and economic power? What the hell are you talking about?
Having that stupid war 10 years earlier would have caused the economy to die 10 years earlier.
Again, maybe you could point out where I advocated for this…instead of making up a straw man to kick around. You think the bursting of the housing bubble was because of the wars in Iraq? You seriously put all the blame for our economic woes on the wars in Iraq?

Sorry Bud, but you repeating your same silly mantra over and over doesn’t make it true. Show me proof that Saddam didn’t move his WMD’s out of country before the US invaded. Show me proof that there were no WMD’s at the many sites where he denied access to the UN Inspectors.
[/QUOTE]So who cares if Saddam rebelled against foreigners oversearching for what he knew he didn't have. [/QUOTE]
You complain about MY half-truths? How about you show one shred of evidence that Saddam knew there were no WMD’s in the site that he wouldn’t look the UN look at. (I’d be interested in how you know what Saddam knew, if you would like to enlighten me.)
Your complaint is like whining about how the Blazers win an NBA championship. Who cares how it was done. What matters is that there were no WMDs to find.
Unless you can back up your assertion with something besides your partisan opinion, saying there were no WMD’s to be found is just more made up bs.
Inconceivable because what use are weapons if you make them inaccessible. If Iraq gave them to neighbors, then they didn't have them to use. In effect, they didn't exist.
If I were Saddam, I would rather see my friends in another country (probably Syria) have my WMD’s than to have the US or UN take them. I wouldn’t preclude the possibility that he could strike a deal where he could get the weapon’s back, or part of them back, after things cooled down when the US pulled out. They could then have them to use later.
You thinking that moving them out of country means they effectively didn’t exist is out there where the buses don’t run.
Besides, transporting them was impossible since UN investigators were all over the country watching for exactly that, and watching the few scientists who would have to travel with high tech weapons or they'd get broken, with US satellites looking for such events too.
ARE YOU FREAK’N KIDDING ME??? The UN investigators were all over the country is your best half-truth yet. The UN people were exactly where Saddam allowed them to be, and NOWHERE else. Further, Saddam knew exactly where the inspectors were every minute they were in country.
When did we start talking about high tech weapons? We are talking about drums of chemicals, iirc. I don’t think those are hard to move, and they don’t break when you move them. Do you think that satellites can see the contents of tractor/trailers being driven down the highway?
I'm thinking your statements are are meant to jerk me around, or they are just bone headed, or both.
What do they call you conspiracists again? Tin foil hats? First time I've ever used the term. Face it, history proved you wrong.
What do they call people that make shit up and keep their head in the sand, with their fingers in their ears yelling ‘LALALALALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU’ to avoid hearing an opinion that upsets their apple cart?
If history has proven me wrong, why can’t you back up a single thing you’ve said with anything but your liberal bias?
Go Blazers
