"At that time Saddam wasn't gassing anybody"
Spence, no one said Saddam was gassing somebody...see if you can go two seconds without moving the goalposts, shall we?
you said that unlike what Bush 43 faced with Iraq, Obama has a real issue with Syria. Meaning, there was no issue in Iraq. No issue. The fact that Saddam repeatedly violated the terms of the UN peace treaty, to you, was not an issue to be addressed. Your words, not anyone else's.
"Bush was acting on a perceived threat."
Oh, Bush did it unilaterally? He didn't get formal support from the US Senate, including Senators Biden, Clinton, Kerry, Edwards, Schumer, Boxer, et al? All those conservative neocons?
Lots of people that are considered heroes by the left, were every bit as certain as Bush, that Iraq had WMDs.
