I understand the cold war aspects, but we can't ignore something when it's in our interest...then claim is as justification when it's handy. It's bad for the karma
Understand as well, I separate the various reasons for removing Saddam (some of which are valid), the justification for the timing of invasion (which looked valid, but with visibility into the Administration's decision making process was patently corrupt), and the complete failure to plan properly along with the lack of accountability for those who were complicit in the mistakes.
Let's even say for a moment that we're all in agreement Saddam should have been ousted...how do you explain how the Administration has been wrong on 99% of the expectations given to the American people? And why are you willing to give Buhs a free pass? Could it be that there are other motivations that are driving their decisions besides what's on the surface?
We're not talking about simple little mistakes here...over 1300+ dead US troops, nearly 10,000 disfigured, a tab of 200 Billion and growing, tens of thousands of dead Iraqi's and a recruitment Christmas present for Osama better than a Red Ryder BB Gun!
