At the moment of invasion, it was absolutely unclear whether the Iraqi WMD programs had been stopped or merely hidden better.

You demonstrate a persistent failure to see only both sides of the coin.

And, guess what, this same situation will repeat over and over and over - a terrible dictator attempting to develop WMD, with the exact state of his programs very murky. If we never invade, no matter what, sooner or later, the scenario I describe above will certainly occur.


Eventually America will suffer a gigantic volcano eruption.

Eventually the Earth will be hit by a gigantic asteroid.

Statistically all these things are certainties, in the long run. You are correct Brandon that it is a statistical certainty that someone will use WMD in the long run, sooner or later. You err in believing that anything the US can do will stop this - in the long run.

If the Iran hysteria keeps getting ramped up, the next country to use WMD could very well be the US or Israel...

So what do we do, set on our hands or try to stop it?

For maporsche
they must breed the real special down in Texas (tihs jab is for you or Bush, whichever you prefer)
That was a jab? LMAO What it was, on your part, was a lack of understanding of how breding works, if you get my drift.
Now we do have some liberals down here that can't find their butt with both hands, they are the product of inbreeding, maybe that's who you were referring to.

LMAO



gee, as i understood it as "special" as in short bus and olympics

Try to stop it.

Nothing wrong with trying to stop things. But we've caused the deaths of as many civilians - directly or indirectly through the war we started - as a WMD would kill.

We don't know what the outcome will be, so it has basically been a gamble. I understand that all interventions of this type are gambles, but this one was especially poor odds and we went for it anyways... ignoring the real threat in AQ and Osama Bin Laden.

Cycloptichorn

The fact that bad people will continue to seek WMD, and the exact status of their programs will often be unclear is an absolute certainty.

As for the use of these weapons, you are falsely comparing things for which the probability per unit time is very, very small, to things which are actually likely to occur in the next few decades if proliferation continues. You are making an argument about as reasonable as trying to disprove:

If I ignore my teeth, I will probably eventually get a cavity.

by saying:

If I keep flying in airplanes, I will probably eventually be on a plane that's hijacked.

It is a gamble but I'd rather take the gamble of trying to stop them than taking the gamble that they will stop & not use them on us.
Of course we don't know what the outcome would be.
Just heard on the news that 150 terrorists were killed going into Afghanistan.

Condi is babbling on CNN right now and just used the phrase Clear, Hold and Build to describe the new policy.

This will replace Mission Accomplished, Let's Roll, and A New Way Forward as the official new Iraq war catch phrase. Look for this phrase to be superimposed on Eagles and American Flags and be sold to patriotic Americans as t shirts and bumper stickers everywhere.


Excuse the diversion, Bear, but what do you imagine the catch phrase might be when the when the US eventually gets the hell out of there? :wink:


Please continue now ......

Nope. I have no feelings. I've worked very hard at eliminating them.

Bear, Bush, the SOB, appears to be trying to bait Iran to give him an excuse to attack. Appointed an Admiral to be in charge of the war, moved war ships into the Persian Gulf, moved Patriot defense missiles to the area (there are none in Iraq/Afghanistan), invaded an Iran consulate in Iraq and took some staff in custody.

Lets hope Iran doesn't take the bait.

Is this reason enough to impeach Bush?

I wish someone would put Bush in a strait jacket and cart him off to the funny farm before he does anymore harm.

I guess the first requirement of being a conservative is eliminating rational thought.
