What the hell are we doing in Iraq? They were never responsible for 9-11 even though Cheney loves to mention that date on almost every statement he makes now days.

Our illegal invasion of Iraq cost us over 4,000 lives and the Iraqis hundreds of thousands of lives.
Ican: The invasion of Iraq was not illegal under international law nor ws it illegal under national law.
The Iraqi civilian violent death rate after the USA invaded Iraq was less than half the Iraqi violent death rate before the USA invaded Iraq.

I'm not sure how conservatives can justify that! What did we get for all those costs?
Ican: We got zero additional al-Qaeda terrorist attacks against American civilians after we invaded Iraq and went after the al-Qaeda in Iraq.

These were the camps of the Ansar al-Isla terrorists, where al Qaeda leader Abu Musab Zarqawi had trained disciples in the use of chemical and biological weapons. But this strike was more than just another [Tomahawk Land Attack Missile] bashing. Soon Special Forces and [Special Mission Unit] operators, leading Kurdish Peshmerga fighters, would be storming the camps, collecting evidence, taking prisoners, and killing all those who resisted."

"The Marines] also encountered several hundred foreign fighters from Egypt, the Sudan, Syria, and Lybia who were being trained by the regime in a camp south of Baghdad. Those foreign volunteers fought with suicidal ferocity, but they did not fight well. The Marines killed them all."
