	| As I understand, WMDs were the original idea. 
 But, since there are no WMDs there, we may as well continue to help stabilize the government. Well, YOU should, Canada thankfully never got into it.
 
 No. Seriously. No.

	| Bush has said we'll stay until the job is done. The job could be done as early as next year, or it could be a bit longer. By most modern measurements of victory, though, Iraq has been and continues to be a resounding success, and signs for a bright and optimistic future are very apparent. This is in spite of how the anti-Bush media like to play up every little story about "insurgent" attacks while burying the good news in the back pages of the newspapers, not to mention accepting every allegation of "torture" and "abuse" as absolute truth and plastering more pictures of Abu Ghraib at every possible moment.
 
 Also:
 
 | Hydra |  | We have been over this many times before; the war was waged for three main reasons: 1) Saddam's failure to fully disclose all weapons of mass destruction in accordance with the cease0fire ending the first Gulf War as well as numerous UN resolutions; 2) Saddam's harboring and giving aid and comfort to known international Islamic terrorist groups; and 3) to liberate the oppressed Iraqi people from a brutal dictator that has a long history of torturing his very own people.

 "To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public." -- Theodore Roosevelt (1918)
 
 "The danger to political dissent is acute where the Government attempts to act under so vague a concept as the power to protect "domestic security." Given the difficulty of defining the domestic security interest, the danger of abuse in acting to protect that interest becomes apparent. --U.S. Supreme Court decision (407 U.S. 297 (1972)

	| Um... 
 George Bush didn't know Iraq was going poorly? BTW, I wasn't talking about WMDs, or rather the lack thereof, here.
 
 But while we're on the topic, how do you think George Bush managed to lead the country to war based entirely on lies? Was it really not his fault at all?

	| One of my friends just became a Marine and he's leaving in February for a 14-month deployment in Fallujah. He's actually lucky because he'll be working with the computer network there and be in 72-degrees F all day. 
 I'm the bawss.

 I thought you were referring to the WMDs.
