Is it OK to ask in this thread that if we invaded a country that had no WMD ( and they didn't), no organized Al-Queda (and they didn't ),hadn't threatned us,were complying with the Inspections, and had been bombed daily for ten years prior to the invasion, why did we invade? The cost has been staggering in lives, dollars, and the future of Iraq's people. Just what was it that Iraq did to us to warrant the devastation of their country, the killing of the innocents, about one million with over 60% being women and children? Why wouldn't they think of us as monsters? I voted Republican all my life until 2004.
A rewriter of history. All of the western countries intelligence agencies were saying that he had WMD. They were not cooperating. The UN issued order after order for him to comply. He always talked and allowed the inspectors into a few places and required advance information as to where they wanted to go. Towards the end they were allowed to pick a place that morning but Iraq soldiers were to drive and they could take 4 hours to go across town. Why did he do this. He told his captors that he was afraid of Iran. Remember that war he had with them. He didn't want a recurrence.
People like you get angry that Haliburton was given the contract to go in and help build up the infrastructure. Then you complain that damage was done and not completely fixed yet. No other company has the resources to do it but you complain.
The stupidity of that million people dead is astounding. We have embedded reporters that would be delighted to show something like that. Average 16,666 people per month. LOL

Maybe you should direct the question the the Dems that voted in favor of the move and to continue funding it. They are the majority now.
