I haven't read this forum in a while, but from what I can tell, its because you're one of the last few people who post here that were wrong about the Iraq war but still insist that you were right.

Cheers to you! :beer:

I am not wrong about the war in Iraq :p The removal of Saddam was VERY necessary and I supported all reasonable actions which would remove his sorry ass from power- I consider this action that Bush took- reasonable, logical, and very necessary.

PS - see my previous reply - you fit one of those 2 perfectly.:beer:

No, you see the timing is crtical.
You see back then
We didnt have Osama problem
Shiite Muslims were preparing an uprising against Saddam
Saddam was devastated by our military might
We had a broad support of international community
The Iraqi society wasn't drained out by more than a decade of Economic sanctions/embargo
and continous anti-US propaganda....
etc, etc

I see those as more evidence that what Bush did was right and the timing was OK because if left unchecked(as he had been for years) he could have been even more dangerous to us or his neighbors.

Oh so what's Bush doing the other day in UN for? Why was he begging for money and troops from other countries when we have 'quite a few countries supporting this action'?

Yet, there is no broad international support for the US action, especially when compared to the 1991 War.
There are few outlier coutries which do support the war but they can not be expected to seriously contribute to the US war effort....

Yawn. I'm so sick of talking about Iraq. Right. Wrong. Blah, blah, blah. No one's changing their mind at this point, are they? Please, next topic.

meh - 26 countries isn't much. I suppose if there would have been 27(the 27th being Germany or France) it would have been considered a "broad" coalition though, right?

rchiu - begging? Hardly. Can you please point out where in his speech he was begging for more troops for Iraq? TIA:beer:
