What was the reason again?
Mushroom clouds?
I believe it was the fact they were impeding weapons inspectors, everyone believed they had WMD's, they moved them to syria, Saddam killed millions of people and was a threat to the middle east.
Saddam killed "millions" of people? Millions? You sure? You might want to "rethink" that statement.
Remember the whole reason we went there was for cheap gas from Iraq? Oops another lie.

I don't recall any such statement out of the Bush administration; that was a canard thrown up by the left to accuse Bush of doing it just for oil. There were many reasons, and that wasn't one of them.

over half a million is a more accurate figure.
IRAQ: Deaths under Saddam Hussein
Along with other human rights organizations, The Documental Centre for Human Rights in Iraq has compiled documentation on over 600,000 civilian executions in Iraq. Human Rights Watch reports that in one operation alone, the Anfal, Saddam killed 100,000 Kurdish Iraqis. Another 500,000 are estimated to have died in Saddam's needless war with Iran. Coldly taken as a daily average for the 24 years of Saddam's reign, these numbers give us a horrifying picture of between 70 and 125 civilian deaths per day for every one of Saddam's 8,000-odd days in power"
Actually it was the radical left that said the Iraq conflict would result in cheaper gas. Democrats who signed on to boots on the ground became traitors when they thought the conflict would bring cheaper oil to the US. Who could forget traitor Harry Reid trying to get the US Troops to throw down their weapons when he used the power of the US Senate to tell them "the war is lost". Who could forget left wing democrats giggling about the full page ad in the NY Times calling the US commander "betray-us" or senator Kerry calling Soldiers "terrorists" or congressman Murtha calling Marines "murderers"?

Soooo.....you all are saying that invading and occupying Iraq was the right thing to do and was worth the cost in lives?
Please answer....
As far a the Kurds, many in the Middle East believe around 5,000 were killed by the Iranians using poison gas during their 8 year war. Others think that Iraq tried to use the gas on the Iranians, but being incompetent, the wind blew the gas back to the Kurds.

My answer is no... the rules of engagement have been wrong from the start and I say we shouldnt go if we dont intend to do it right.
All this 'winning their hearts and minds' BS is just that BULLSHIT.

Unfortunately it looks like American Horse and Leweman disagree.

OHHHH, IT WAS THE DEMOCRATS!!!!!!!!
Of course. Now I understand.

And that is a lie. And not everyone believed that they had those weopons. The Inspectors were finding nothing, and stating that. Bush told them to get out, that he was going in anyway. The lies told by Bush and company cost us the lives of 4500+ of our sons and daughters and 3 trillion in national treasure.
I think the final history of that, and whether or not "it was worth it" is yet to be written. Here's what Feisal Istrabadi had to say (Nov 2010) in part:What was the reason again?

" . . . the Obama administration is trying to force what it perceives as the easiest path to a new government in Iraq even if it is pro-Iranian not because it is in the US national interest, but to enable it to head for the exits more quickly in advance of the presidents re-election campaign.
The administrations policy in Iraq is now strengthening Iran regionally at the expense of Americas Arab allies, undermining Americas own efforts to forge a Middle East peace, and weakening Iraqs nascent democracy. It is difficult to imagine a worse set of outcomes for US national security interests in this vital region."

I'm no fan of Saddam, but I am a fan of the truth. Your link was weak and it links to another post that's not even there anymore.

We know the right wing will latch on to anything written they believe supports their dangerous agenda.
Recent examples:
Keystone will bring in a million jobs.
Obama took a trip costing 200 million dollars a day and included 32 warships and a carrier.
There is less drilling and more regulations under Obama than Bush.
The list is endless. You have to do better if you make such a claim.
Official Iraqi documents recovered after the fall of Saddam regime suggest a staggering 5 million executions were made during Baath era alone. Over 10 million were also imprisoned. They were all Shias save a small percentage of Kurds. It is also very interesting to note that after the 1991 Shia uprising over 300,000 were killed or captured never to be seen again, but there were no injured.
The largest number of deaths attributable to Mr. Hussein's regime resulted from the war between Iraq and Iran between 1980 and 1988, which was launched by Mr. Hussein. Iraq says its own toll was 500,000, and Iran's reckoning ranges upward of 300,000.
Accounts collected by Western human rights groups from Iraqi émigrés and defectors have suggested that the number of those who have "disappeared" into the hands of the secret police, never to be heard from again, could be 200,000.

This statement alone is enough for me to know that you are one dumb ass Mo Fo.... Jeez, I thought I had seen the limits to your stupidity, but you amaze me

That was several years ago, and yes, Democrat and Republican ALL told us they had those weapons. Put down the KoolAid long enough to realize that BOTH sides lie to further the plan. Aren't we supposed to be beyond that now? If we can't get BEYOND that fact we're fucking DOOMED!!
Wake the FUCK UP!!

When have you ever posted the truth about Obama's massive failures? Let's see you be "fair and balanced". I don't think you can do it.

Might I suggest you have a look at what other nations pay for gas? Gas in the USA is ridiculously cheap by comparison to the vast majority of them.
