2. we went to war
3. we took over iraq real quick
4. we still to this day have not found any WMD's, in fact we now have reports that say saddam disarmed when we asked him to.
5. bush changes his tune.
bottom line: BUSH LIED. it's that simple.
and since he lied about it, the loss of soldier's lives, which may pale in comparison to past wars, is completely unnecessary. how would you feel if your brother or cousin died in iraq?
and do you really think that we'll be able to stabilize any country in the middle east in our lifetime?

How do you know Bush lied? People told him that we had intelligence showing that Saddam had WMD's. Ask those people why they lied to Bush. Saddam has a past history of using WMD's against the Iraqi people. There were terrorist training camps in northern Iraq with chemical weapons found. Thousands of Iraqi people have now had there lives spared from Saddams militia. More people died in the 9/11 attacks than soldiers that have died in Iraq. Open your eyes and stop paying attention to what the media is forcing down your throat. Majority of the Iraqi people are happy we forced out Saddam. The media only shows you the bad that is happening because that's what they want to show you. And as bad as Saddam was, both of his sons were ten times as evil as him.
