Japan most of the islands in the pacific 3/4 of Europe most of the Middle East and what did we do with it all? Oh that�s right we helped the peoples rebuild all the crap THEY did to them self�s and then we gave it back. Hell in my opinion we should have kept it all if we had we would not be setting hear listening to all this bull about how America is such a
Dictatorship and out to takeover the planet. Lol we all ready owned it once and figured out really fast we did not want it.
The Germans the Italians and most of the rest of the world were making to much money trading weapons and such to Saddam for his OIL

There was a time where the US had different interests in Iraq. Then the rascals went an invaded Kuwait. Things change.
Lets say you had a dog you fed every day. It was always nice to you and you treated it accordingly. Mutual benificial relationship. The dog gets food from you, you get some company. Then one day the dog bites you. You going to treat that dog the same after that? You a hypocryte if you dont?

Hindsight is 20/20 my friend. the intellegence wasn't twisted, it was wrong. There's a difference. Also, don't forget that the head of CIA at the time was appointed by Bill Clinton. Why would he want us to go to war with Iraq?
it was wrong AND twisted mate. the original evidence still didnt support it so they twisted it.
You think the country would be safer if we left? Let me ask you this? Do you think it was safer there before we did what we did? Because if we were to leave, it would go right back to where it was. A terrorist leader butchering millions of people just because he can.
probably yes.
yes because atleast then they didnt worry about running into fire fight.
actually saddam wasnt a terrorist , he was a general in the army and made a coup and stole the gov. he only killed shiates which where the people killing our troops not so long ago, isnt that ironic?
No, read above why we invaded Iraq. All I'm saying here is that the hunt for Osama is still on, and has been the whole time.
well why invade iraq and use valuable reasources when you could have used it against OSB ?
Do you think other countries WOULD help? Although I do agree, we could definately use the help of other countries, but I don't think there are any countries that WILL help. I believe we have a little help from the British, but that's about it. I just don't think anyone out there cares that much anymore since so much focus has been put on Iraq.
with the way america is doing buisness right now? doubt it.
a little help?
we went every where with you. hell we saved 2 intel officers lives and it was little? we look after basra and its little.
Are we playing chess? lol
lol
technically we are playing a game like chess....
also 42 is a good answer, its from hitchhikers guide to the galaxy a very funny thing!

So how many times after the first war ended and the second began did Saddam say he had no WMD's only to be later revealed that he infact had them? Once, twice, thrice? Each time we let him off the hook was when we should have done something about it, instead he continued to see the US as weak and unwilling to do anything, all the mean while there was a Dem in the Whitehouse. Then after about the 3rd time he failed to comply with the UN sanctions Bush gave him an offer he couldn't refuse: either give us evidence that proves beyond a resonable doubt that you have destroyed all WMD's and all facillities capable of making these ordance or be destroyed. Instead, Saddam threw a fit with the UN inspectors, a precursor history had shown us that he was not complying, and demanded for them to leave. He chose the path to have a US led coalition invade and dispose of his rule.
