so what happened with the 'NO WMDS' in Iraq??
It seems the 'Bush lied, babies died' crowd has been strangely silent recently now that it has been proven that the Syrians used IRAQI WMDs when they were gassing their people, and now ISIS has a warehouse full of the stuff in Iraq.
Or did Bush 'pre-plan' all this stuff too?
Is it still a 'Bush-Cheney plot' to take over all the oil in iraq now that ISIS is selling it for $60.00 a barrel and undercutting the world market, or is Cheney getting a cut of that too?
Or MAYBE, Bush was just doing what he thought was right and could SEE THE FUTURE (now), or what would happen in Iraq if we didn't have troops there.
They knew back then that when we went in to Afghanistan after 9-11 (oh, WAIT!, that was an evil Bush plot too!!), that these people would scatter like cockroaches and head to...Iraq. doing what he did back then kept the war localized.
Now that the worlds Savior, Obama, has pulled out the troops, only a few months after, the country was over run by people WORSE than the ones before, people that Bin-laden would think was crazy.
Just wanted to hear the responses, you know, like when the hippies said PEACE after Vietnam, and the entire region collapsed and over two million people were killed in the Pol-Pot regime alone after we left.
The hippies were silent about that too.

Pfff, babies were dying over there long before Bush and still are. I hear you and I agree. It is beyond ignorant that anyone thinks there were no WMDs in Iraq. Especially after the fact that Saddam used them on the Kurds. Saddam was a
big d!¢khead but he wasnt an idiot, he would have transfered his WMDs out of Iraq once he got wind outside forces were caming in to look for them. Without a doubt Saddams buddies in Syria acquired some of his WMDs and most certainly there are still some burried out in that desert somewhere that they have lost the map to.
Dont even get me started on that whole conspiracy theory of U.S. wants to take over Iraqs oil - U.S. stealing oil from Iraq blah blah bull§hit. If the U.S. plan then was for Iraqs oil, then the U.S. would have Iraqs oil NOW. ISIS would not control Iraqs oil as they are currently, because the U.S. would have already taken over, been set up and in place gaurding thier 'stolen' interest. Not to mention I would have been and now, filling up my truck at $1.15 a gallon instead of $4.97 a gallon.

being that i only LIVED over there for six months, i don't know much about it, other than we made the largest non-nuclear explosion in History trying to blow up all the stuff he 'didn't have' during the first Gulf War. And all the countries that have WMDs in the mideast pretty much got them from everywhere. from the 'signature' of the chemicals used in Syria (whether they got the stuff from Egypt or not), the gas they USED was made in Iraq.
While people blame this whole mess on 'the bush years', you fail to see this has been going on SIX HUNDRED YEARS before today.
Going in to Iraq was a necessity. Saddam, while he wasn't affiliated with Bin-laden directly, was still a part o the whole terrorist operation. We KNEW that once we pounded Afghanistan, they had nowhere to go but Pakistan (an unstable allied country) to regroup, and to IRAQ, to fight us there.
It was better to keep them fighting there as opposed to the streets of hometown USA, or anywhere else in the west.
and the bottom line is ISIS has chemical weapons now...from Iraq. and scud missiles...from Iraq. just hope they don't figure out how to use the stuff, and PRAY he didn't have a nuke buried somewhere.

Not sure where you get your info from but I can tell you iraq had no wmd's. They certainly did not give them to the syrians either, they wouldnt need them. assad has had his own chem weapons production facilities for a long time so why would they get them from iraq ? All of the stuff they found in iraq could not be used anyway as it had long past its cell by date and would not be effective, rusted and damp shells tend not to explode. Saddam missed his wmd destruction schedule by a few months which up until that point had been going fine and then got invaded. All I can see from the iraq war and everything since is a endless cycle of death that could have been prevented by people sorting their own problems out or even just helping them to do it without invading.

Truth be told Iraq did have WMD the whole time. The entire Iraq invasion was such a mess they ended up being destroyed or looted and shipped out of the country to places like Syria, Iran and Libya before coalition forces could locate them.
Iraq probably would have fell apart regardless if America invaded or not. Saddam Hussein was a old man at the time, he wasnt going to live forever. If he had died from natural causes their probably would have been a civil war for power and control and the country would have been a mess similar to today.
As far as the anti-Bush no war for oil code pink types, they are the biggest hypocrites around. They ignore and deny the 10+ years of demands from top Democrats such as Hillary and John Kerry to invade and overthrow Iraq. They deny that Democrats signed and gave authorization for war against Iraq. .Its all Bushs fault to them.

There wouldn't be an ISIIL had there not been an IRAQi civil war. That evil tyrant was holding Mesopotamia together at an hour in which we need stability. Syria acquired chemical weapons, from Egypt in 1973.

"... now that it has been proven that the Syrians used IRAQI WMDs..."
What proof would that be, exactly?
And is it from the accredited news media of a nation with truth-in-journalism laws prohibiting its news media from broadcasting false or misleading information?
Somehow, I don't think so.

We already found the WMDs in Iraq in 2006. Look it up. 2006, we found the WMD's in Iraq.

" ....Syrians used IRAQI WMDs....."

It was all manufactured by Israel then they used the Jewish owned media outlets to make it a non story relegated to conspiracy theories forever, that's what makes them so devious
