Tonya42- I think part of the reason why some of us still can’t understand why America invaded Iraq, is that the admnistration has changed its reasoning so many times its hard to keep up.

If you don’t believe that the reason sold to the American people was- to prevent an imminent threat, from a brutal dictator who has weapons of mass destruction. To retaliate against those who masterminded 9/11. And of course, to provide long-term safety for the United States and our interests.

All of the reasons where out and out lies. We were lied to about the reasons for war, we were lied to about the costs of the war, we were lied to about the consequences of the war. And now we are being lied to about the “progress” of the war. And the same people that were 100% wrong on every prediction they might up to, and during the war, are the same people making these dire predictions of what will happen if we leave, and making more unfounded predictions of what we can gain if we stay.
