I have some "conservative" (a misnomer if ever there was one) friends who are now saying "We didn’t go to war with Iraq because of WMDs, we went to get Saddam because he was in violation of the UN agreement!
Wow. Is this the new conservative mantra—that we didn’t go to Iraq because of "thousands of tons of chemical and biological weapons" but because Saddam broke a UN rule?
I usually ask the conservatives who assert that our purpose was only to
dethrone Saddam this question: "So you’re saying that we committed massive military
resources and spent over 150 billion dollars and killed tens of thousands of
Iraqi civilians, and crippled many more, killed well over a thousand US
soldiers and crippled many more, and bombed major portions of Iraq’s cities
to the ground plunged Iraq into chaos, all while bin Laden was running
around free, not because we thought Saddam posed a threat to us or our
allies but because he broke a rule laid down by the UN? Is that what you’re
telling me?"
