So did John Hinckley, Jr. do you think we should have gone to war over it back then? GHW Bush wasn't even president at the time.

Was trying to acquire lots of additional nasty stuff as papers have been showing and was most certainly making terrorism payments. There is a distinction you won't like to make. Saddam made payments to families in exchange for a member blowing themselves up among innocent people. It was known that if you blew yourself up in a terrorist act that Saddam would make a payment for your evil deeds to your family.

Nasty stuff, where papers which were proven to be FAKE surface. Terrorism payments??? to Palestinian bombers families??? How does this hurt America? Why does America need to go to war for Israel>?

Iraq was full of insurgents and as we fight others have been slipping into Iraq to fight rather than at you front door. Be grateful the American military is keeping it there and not on the lawn of your home. You have insurgents killing off the Iraqis and everyone else who is not them and handing terrorist Iraq (the liberal goal) is not an option.

What evidence do you have that "Iraq was full of insurgents" prior to 2002? There is heaps of evidence that insurgents flooded into the country post 18 March 2003. When Iraq was disorganized, and lawless. What proof do you have that these insurgents aren't just pissed off Fedayeen - pissed off that America invaded their country?

Murtha served and has been a dimwit the last few years. We go by what the guy says and does currently, not his history. The guy who blew up the FBI building had the same medals as Murtha, doesn't make his post-military deeds all golden either.

I am sure you could find loads of serial killers and demented psychos who had served in war and were awarded very prestigious medals too. But none of them have served in the U.S. House of Representatives since 1974 so equating him to these maniacs and dismissing him as "crazy" is childish at the most.

Keeping the fight there is better than on our lawns, and yes we do agree Bush had done a good job at leading the way in keeping it out of America since 9/11.

You keep spouting this garbage. It is nothing more than right wing talking points. Terrorists have made several attempts to attack us "on our lawns" since 9/11 and terrorists have been very successful at attacking westerners in other parts of the world many many times post 9/11. Don't kid yourself. This war has done nothing but inflamed the hard line radical Muslims around the world. Good job.
