What Noble Cause Did Casey Sheehan Die For?

Specious, specious, specious . . . there is nothing noble about being sacrificed for a supposition of putative future danger, espcially in light of known present danger in other nations.

We must intervene in a putative future danger, if it consists of someone like Hussein arming with nukes and bioweapons. Someone like him just can't be allowed to have weapons of that power.

Well, I doubt that any of you really want to discuss the topic. You probably want to talk to other people who agree with you to maintain your false sense that you're correct.

Didn't Bush say like a bazillion times that we invaded Iraq to insure that all of its WMD and programs had been destroyed? Why do you say that the president won't tell you why he sent these soldiers to war when he actually stated his reasons repeatedly?

Oh, you and others made the evaluation. Well, in that case.....why would any sane person dare to argue with that? Oh, the probability. Gotta love them odds. What are the odds that a father and son President would both invade the same country?
Where are the WMD???? You don't blow up women and children on probability!!! You don't have a large number of your citizen soldiers die on a probability. I ask you.... What Noble Cause Did Casey Sheehan Die For?

You're wrong. If the probability that an evil dictator such as Saddam Hussein is developing a stockpile of doomsday weapons which may one day be used to destroy New York or London is 50%, and years of diplomatic efforts have failed, and if said dictator may be using the time to perfect such weapons, then it would be irresponsible of us not to act. Not acting might very well result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, as well as allowing a madman to use his superweapons to dominate the Middle East.

The fact is we don;t really know why Iraq was invaded. Certainly, oil is part of it. I think these idiots really believed their bullshit that we would be greeted as liberators. God, I wish I could see the history books a hyndred years from now. This is sure to go down as one of the worst blunders in all of human history.

Bush explained over and over that it was invaded to resolve the WMD issue. Were I in his place, I would have done the same thing for the same reason, but would have done it sooner.
