Even the Administration is conceding that was not true. And to say The Liberals were lying because we got "lucky" and didn't loose a lot of American lives is ludicrous. I am not sure the families who lost love ones in the War would think we were that lucky. And that doesn't even touch on the lives of those lost on the Iraqi side.

I think Liquor Dealer gets it just right. 9/11 changed the world- not the war in Iraq. Whether war was the only course of action or not is irrelevant. The consequences of it where not predetermined either. We need to understand the new world that surrounds us. Do we stand by and watch death or try to stop it before it starts? Is one death that prevents thousands worth it or not? 100 hundred years from now will we look back and worry about the 63 Billion dollars we spent or count the lives we may have saved? I'd say none of this is over yet. And wringing our hands over a little DEPLETED uranium is simply hysteria. We didn't get lucky. We have the finest military the world has ever seen. They have been honed to a razors edge by the condemnation of the Leftist Agenda. The rest of the world has not lost respect. They're scared.
