What are you guys trying to accomplish. Nothing I say will convince you that invading Iraq was the right thing to do, nothing you can say will convince me that it was the wrong thing to do. I stated that my dislike of Saddam pre-dates Bush, I would have had our military march into Baghdad during the Gulf War. Every time Saddam defied UN mandates, inspections, ordered shots at our military, etc, I felt we should have gone in and taken him out. All this had nothing to do with 9/11 or Bush's "case" for war.
I think that before a lasting peace can be struck in the ME, we have to have control of Iraq. I think the Iraqi people will be better served under their current steps toward democracy. I think Muslims every where in the world will be better served after we stand up to extremists and defeat them. This is just my view, I understand there are those who do not share my view.
If you or anyone supported the Iraqi war because of speeches that referenced bad intelligence, I get your gripe. I just don't think Bush lied, nor have I seen proof of that.
