Lynn,

We should move this over to the off topic forum..

No disrespect,, but people have also been blinded by the anti-war propoganda, most of if false. Were the weapons of mass destruction a lie..NO..Iraq had chemical and biologic weapons, they used them in the Iran Iraq war and against the Kurds..besides we know they existed because the U.S, Germany, France ,England and Russia all sold them to Iraq. Did the Intelligence make an error and exagerate the threat, very possibly..Just before the DDAY invasion of WW2 the Allies created a huge army of inflatable tanks and material and put Patton in charge..They stationed it at the other side of England..It never existed, but Hitler believed it was the invasion army and therefore when Normandy was invaded he was convinced that wasn't the real invasion and refused to release his armoured reserves..Normandy was won the rest is history. So could Iraq have created a massive deception , yes..doesn't make the war wrong or mean anyone lied..BTW Clinton was going to invade in 1998,for the exact same reason Bush did, and Canada was going in as well,,google it.

ALSO Colin Powell is not the great statesman you make him out to be, in fact millions of innocent people have been killed because he was a weak General. He refused to allow Gen Schwartkoff to go into Iraq and finish off Hussain during the first Gulf War, therefore all deaths since and this war are on his concience. He's pissed because the current Iraq war has become unpopular and he was a willing front man. His support of Obama is racially and politically motivated,,he's looking for a new powerful position.
