I really disagree about the whole hypocrite(correct spelling) thing. The type of alleged WMD that led us into this war were of the "mushroom cloud" variety, as I remember it. If it were about the variety of which you speak, we'd have at least another 99 sovereign countries to invade, as N Korea and Iran watch with pleasure. I do not wish to attack your opinion, just stimulate your mind past all of the BS that CNN and fox feed you to espouse compliance instead of inquiry. The war is where we are. IMHO, it was a major f*ck up. Hundreds of billions of dollars that should have been used to shore up security of Americans in America, esp airline, border and port security. Before you call me a liberal, which would be inaccurate but wouldn't bother me, please know that I have 19 years military service, over 3 in Afghanistan and Iraq. As someone who has actually completed Air War College and various other military institutions, this war's strategy is fatally flawed. 130,000 troops is not nearly enough to police and transform a country the size of Iraq. We ,the USA not coalition, committed just over 500,000 to push Saddam out of Kuwait. Has anyone even looked at a map of the middle-east. If you have you'll see the proximity of our major hospitals and bases in Iraq and their position relative Iranian missile sights. Strategically, we can't do anything to Iran without mass casualties to our troops in Iraq, not opinion basic military tactics/strategy. As an American officer, my primary allegiance is to my troops and my country. To be totally honest, the cruel treatment of the Kurds was horrible, but not worth one drop of American blood. The situation in Sudan and Rwanda weren't either evidently. We have become a nation of "sheople", just following the anchors on fox or CNN. We are in a world of sh#t, and everybody wants their team to be right. This is not a liberal or conservative war, it's and American one. Practically no one in any of our 3 branches of government has a child on the ground in this war. American lives and futures are being ruined, and we're debating whether to "stay the course" or "cut and run" because we want our side to be right? Neither is acceptable, and somehow it has become un-American to say so. And we are worse off than we were on 9/12/2001. I know many won't see the connection between WMD and the war.....that's disturbing.
