No offense, but your premise is stupid. If I lived in Iraq I certainly wouldn't support Saddam torturing people. Ditto that I don't support ANY American president legalizing torture.at this point, i do not have a solid opinion on iraq. i don't think anyone could have pointed to japan or germany at this point and said, hey, what a success. do i think there were mistakes....yes. i am not sure i am willing to say that iraq will not yield beneficial resutls for the US, the ME or the rest of the world at this time.
i also agree with gunny on the shift of power. that issue is one i do have a problem with, though it is hard for me to know with certainty the result of leaving saddam in power. the guy absolutely violated the rules of the cease fire over and over. liberals said he had WMDs, saddam said he had them. what were we going to do, keep the no fly zones forever? saddam was getting more and more brazen in his attacks against the US in the fly zones.
my goal was to show that liberals would support a non republican president knowing full well that president committed mass torture...
the hypocrisy is overwhelming.
Waterboarding and what Saddam did are not equivalent.
