-Now, in the Iraq situation, we were told by Bush and Blair that Saddam Hussein HAD WMDs and was planning to use them against us and could send them to our countries in a little over a half-hour.

so did clinton and the rest of the democrat senators and representatives before bush was elected and used that as justification to bomb iraq and kill people...

-When that didn't fly, they said he HAD WMDs and defied UN resolutions to destroy them.

bush used the same intelligence and resolution excuse that clinton did... and the resolutions were defied...

-So far, nothing has been found.

yes it has, but you don't want to admit it... and more will be found shortly...

-in light of compelling evidence that going to war with Iraq was unprovoked and unneccessary,

wrong, it was provoked and neccessary... it is a continuation and amplification of actions begun by clinton...

-how the hell do you reach the point where you are not supporting our troops if you don't want them getting KILLED in a war we shouldn't have engaged in in the first place.

no one wants our troops killed but if you think we will win by pulling out you will have proven osama's mogadishu theory of american military resolve correct... that isn't going to happen... iraq is simply the first step...

-But in this case it's a load of crap, and our fellow citizens, as well as those of a few other countries are being killed for reasons no one in Washington has truly justified.

it was justified and it is justified...

-My opinion is that they should NEVER have been placed in harms way this time, and that is why I believe NOT sending them to Iraq would have supported them.

this is only the second battlefield in the war against terrorism... we will finish the job and expand the war...

the military's job is to kill people and to break things... that's what they do... they are doing their job wonderfully... does the military face risk while doing their job? sure, and some more than others... how would you support them? by giving them the best means to do their job, not by removing work from them...

-I obviously don't want to see the soldiers killed, but neither do I want them killing civillians, nor guerillas who are taking up arms on behlaf of their people.

you mean the new iraqi guerillas who are being trained as police and security to take our place when we leave? or do you mean the remaining terrorist thugs who are still following the baath party and saddam's wishes?
