Yes, this time I did go over your post in pieces. Sorry about that. I was interrupted twice by flying opportunities.
Waiting would have hurt some.
It would have hurt those who would have been murdered by Saddam's regime while we waited.
It would have hurt those who would otherwise have been murdered by terrorists trained in Iraq.
I already know what your thinking. You've given me the same response enough times for me to finally remember. You're thinking we cannot know for certain what would have happened if we had waited. I agree!
Therefore we cannot know for certain, "Waiting would not have hurt."
