Going to war in Iraq



George Bush sent 150,000 of our kids to fight in the middle east because he told them Iraq has stock piles of chemical and biological weapons and an ongoing nuclear weapons program. Many of our 1,500 soldiers went to their deaths thinking they were there for national security reasons.

An election in Iraq does not absolve Bush from the blame he deserves for the deception he perpetrated on those who have died and those who are gravely injured.

Going to war is the most costly method of dealing with a
geopolitical issue. Those who were in favor of going to war in Iraq solely because they wanted to change the middle east are guilty of betraying the goodness of the American people and deserve nothing but scorn.

1. "deserve nothing but scorn" Actually, they legally must be brought
up for war crimes and treason. This will be the most costly blunder in world history before it's "over" (whatever that means). This is all a direct result of the "supreme" court meddling in the election process in the first place. No good comes from no good.

2. not only send them on a fool's errand searching for WMDs . . .
once they got there, he used WMDs himself in the form of depleted uranium weapons that are making many of the troops sick and will continue to do so for years to come . . . not to mention what it's doing to Iraqis and their country . . . Bush is a war criminal of the first order who must eventually be brought to justice . . .
