You like to criticise left wingers for going off topic but youre far from sticking on topic. Far from it, Ive never seen any one copy and paste more for a tangental diversion than you do. I dont think thats automatically a bad thing, as you do, but the fact remains that youre not above it yourself.

Yeah comments like paperclip's make me sick too.
Iraq was in violation of the signed cease fire agreement from the original gulf war and the U.S. was completely justified in resuming hostilities even without the additional U.N. resolutions passed etc. etc. etc.....

The grounds for justification move all over the place, and shifting goalposts after the game has been lost looks pretty poor.

The justification given for the invasion of Iraq in 2003 was the need to secure and eliminate the threat of imminently deployable weapons of mass destruction. This was coupled with false (deliberately fabricated and selected) intelligence. The justification was based on lies. No other justification was given and no other justification is relevant.

US Congress fell into a giant trap, and justice has not been brought to bear on any of the perpetrators yet, on any side. And, as has been mentioned, the cost has been hundreds of billions of dollars and tens of thousands of lives. Who is going to pay?

BTW, if it was a bluff why the violence over this and the demonstrations agains the US? Yet bibles are burnt in many countries around the world, along with US flags, and noone really reacts in this manner against those who burnt them.
