I have always like to use the analogous when it comes to Saddam: What if you have a man known for using WMD's standing in a school yard full of kids, with a back pack on saying that he was going to explode it if he did not get what he wanted. An officer decides to shoot him in the head before he could explode his back pack. After shooting him dead they discover that all he had was his laundry in the pack sack. This leads Liberals to call for the officers arrest and conviction for murder.

The question is; When Liberals try to convict the officer for the murder of a known WMD exploder, are they right or wrong?

Anyone doing the questioning would be a liberal? Are you going to stand by this? Your analogy is as flawed as your argument.

What if? We do not kill people based on what ifs. Your scenario is as silly as I've ever heard. What if?

Why did we go into Iraq?

are you afraid to answer a simple question?

have you changed your mind on anything involving the decision to go in and how it's all turned out?

or are you going to try and score brownie points like those cute little girls do?

O.K. I made the liberals on this site mad so now let me try to do the same to the conservatives.
We went to war with Iraq to get the attention off our failed hunt for Osama (obama bamma fo sama fee fi fo famma - sorry couldn't resist) bin Laden. we should have finished that job first before thinking about Iraq.

These sound like the arguments Clinton probable gave at 3am in the morning when asked if it was OK to take out Osama by the CIA.

The reasons to go to war are many and have been stated many many many times, and yet are ignored by those of hate.

I have not changed my mind about anything involving the decision to go to war. I looked very hard to find some way to change my mind, but could not find any.

I am unhappy with the way the outcome of the war has been represented by those in favor of it. I find it ridiculous that People like McCain, O'reilly, and Hannity say that Bush mishandled the war. With the endless evidence the war has gone exactly as it should have, given the the situations that have arisen since its beginning. This is where the real debate should be right now. Not why we went to war, but how have the situations of the war effected its outcome.

An excellent analogy, to say the least.

Many people will tote conspiracy theories about how we went to Iraq for oil, but I have yet to see them prove it. If we did, then who here honestly thinks that the hundreds of billions we spent on the war is worth whatever money we could get from any potential oil, even if we were taking their oil.

Propaganda Garbage.

The US invaded Iraq because its Standard Israeli Foreign policy. The US is not in control of its military when it comes to issues in the middle east.

And whilst the US is there they can steal Iraq OIL and cause a massive world hike in Oil prices.

80% of the worlds profits that are directly and indirectly due to OIL and its spin offs end up with US multinational companies such as EXXON etc.

Get the picture folks?

If it was about democracy then the US would have installed a democracy in Kuwait after the first Gulf War.

THE CRAZY thing is that the USA itself is NOT a democracy - its a plutocratic Oligarchy.

I suggest you look at the fasical Iraq political system that the ISraeli/US fascist alliance set up there.

That is the extreme loon-icy of the Liberals. They sit all over the world screaming at the USA for protecting their oil. They just do not get it that if the oil of the middle east fell to any one dictator, and he decided to cut the west off, that their economies would crumble and they would be plunged into a great depression. Then they would be screaming for the USA to come and help them fight the dictator that hurt them so badly.

This is why I really wonder if Liberalism has turned into some kind of mental disorder. Because logic does not seem to be part of their mentality, only hate.
