Grady I'll have to take issue on a number of points you made, 1. Bush took the war to the enemy, who exactly is the enemy, the 9/11 terrorists were Saudis, Bush did not attack them did he I wonder why.
2. Saddam was a threat to the world, oh really, just exactly how does a tin pot despot of a third world country with very limited forces become a threat to the world. You might as well claim that Somalia or Mexico are a threat to the world but we all know there not.
Even your claim of he was a threat to the region is false, Iraq-Iran fought themselves to a standstill for years and got nowhere, at best he was more capable of killing innocent civilians than being a military threat to anybody. And to claim that he was a threat to the worlds only superpower is ridiculous as witnessed by Iraq1/2.
The US/UK were quite happy to supply and arm both these countries in the past and now we play the righteous card. If your nextdoor neighbour was a theif would you give him a spare set of keys to mind no you would not so why do we allow our elected goverments to arm countiries that then threaten us.
Why dont people just be honest and say that we went into the Middle East to assure our future oil supplies and to protect Israel, I,m getting fed up of the war on terror bull all the time.

Why is it that you would think one thread topic from one member would bring all of the "Bush" supporters running?
Do you truly consider this thread that compelling?
Look at the title, it does not exactly invoke an attraction of the intellect. I was bored and wanted to see what it was all about.
I have seen, now I'm gone.

You guys say that Iraq was a threat at that time and needed to be immediately taken care of even though it required pulling lot of troops out of afghanistan and putting almost all the US military in Iraq.
So shudn't Bush be worried about the person who ACTUALLY attacked US (according to Bush) rather than someone who COULD be a threat.
So, why then would Bush attack Iraq before putting all the military strength and intelligence into finding Osama.
Why suddenly engage all the troops into Iraq knowing full well that North Korea could take advantage of the situation (lack of enuff military).
