Hell yeah. Acutally, I don't like the way Bush went about supporting the war--lying to us about a bunch of shit and using fake claims to justify it.
Such as?
We never found the WMDs, but he may have moved them.
Washington Post - 500 Chemical weapons declassified
I'm not going to get into the tired "there were no WMD" debate again. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there are/were WMD that coalition forces have found in Iraq. This particular find has just been declassified. As I've stated from the beginning, there will be more to follow.
It would have been better had he said--Saddam is evil, we are going to finish the job we started in the early 90s, and oh yeah, while there, we may as well take over their oil.
The Iraqi's control their own oil. One of the key points forwarded by Kerry and Feingold the other day was the terrorist hunt gone wrong supported by a thinly veiled "search for WMDs." Some folks continue to forget the 11 years of inspection obstruction conducted by the ex-regime. One of the primary obligations for the cease fire from Sandbox One included the disclosure and destruction of all WMDs possessed by Iraq. After the ex-regime fired numerous SCUD missles at non-coalition nations during Sandbox One, the US wanted to make sure no calculated petulance by the ex-regime could spin the entire region out of control.
In January of 1995, during a Joint Command level CPX in FRG, I watched a live satellite feed of a SCUD launch from Iraq into Iran. You could have heard a pin drop for about 60 seconds. Then, the shite hit the fan. Needless to say the CPX took about 2 hours to resume.
Folks also forget when you get your ass kicked in a military action, sign on the dotted line to cease getting your ass kicked, then balk at complying with the terms above that dotted line, your ass is subject to getting kicked without warning at any time. Yes, we wanted that turd to quit stirring the pot. Shrug on the reason forwarded to the rest of the world for doing so. If the rest of the world won't step forward to play world cop as it should be, *SNARF* them when we ram a cattle prod up someone's ass to underline our willingness to do so.
As to this LT that isn't going to Iraq; well that's his decision. I hope he has a law degree and/or has read my above post, because he obviously doesn't understand the word illegal. He will most likely be court-martialled and sentenced to whatever. Fine by me. Its an all volunteer army. If he didn't want to be here, he had a choice.
