I come here for about five minutes every other day. If and when I can spare more time for the micronovel back-and-forths that require over an hour to type, we can then parry words.
But since brevity is the word of the day, all I have to say is "So what"? I supported the war irregardless of the WMD. We know he had them, and what scares me is that there is no proof of them at all, not only of their existence (which was confirmed and re-confirmed ad infinitum) but that there is no trace of them whatsoever. If they had been dismantled and destroyed in accordance with UN rule, there would still be traces of the warheads, canisters, what have you. But there is nothing. They weren't destroyed, and because they weren't, the war was justified in that respect. If they had been destroyed, and Saddam had any interest in retaining the power and control he so dearly loved, he would have done his best to supply proof of their destruction.
What worries me now is where they are. Are they hidden? Sold to others? Who knows? But to say they were destroyed, or never existed in the first place, is sheer folly and even now only true fools ever utter such crap.
No, nothing that has happened has made my faith in the justice of this war waver. The resulting chaos only makes me angrier that we didn't finish the job the first time, as this could have all been avoided. Of course, we have liberals to thank for that... and a president who lacked the cajones to stand up to them.
