Bush went to war with Iraq by telling us Saddam had tons of WMD and he was just itching to use them on the free world. I saw Chris Rock in Miami about 2 weeks ago and he made me laugh by saying that "Bush didn't find so much as a wiffle-ball-bat over there". So basically North Korea (Kim Jong Il) was like, "Hey, I have nuclear weapons, and I want to use them". And Bush was like, "No, Iraq is the bigger threat, Saddam tried to kill my daddy". The way the Bush administration morphed Osama into Saddam was unbelievable to me. Middle America are such suckers for patriotic psycho-babble. Once it became increasingly clear to Bush that Saddam didn't have any WMD's. They spun the whole "War on Iraq" as a campaign to liberate Iraq from a dictator. Fine, but why didn't he say so in the first place. Why does our country always have to act as the world's policeman. He kept saying that Saddamn, gassed his own people, which I totally believe. It's well documented fact that Saddam gassed the kurdish people of Northern Iraq during his father's administration. No one seemed to give a **** then. It wasn't until August of 1990 when Iraq invaded Kuwait that Bush Sr. did anything. I'll summarize here: IMO Bush went to war with Iraq because of Oil (read my Halliburton comment earlier on this thread), and because of a personal vendetta. If I'm wrong; however, that means that America must liberate EVERY nation ruled by a dictator, else we are hypocrites. [/end_rant]
