I realize I am in the minority, but I think my logic is sound.

And I will say I find it somewhat amusing that out of my lengthy laundry list of what I disagree with him on the only comments are about what I agree with him on.

I'm sorry... I thought we attacked Iraq because of WMDs... I mean 9/11... I mean human rights abuses... I mean... Um... why are we there exactly?

Potential violations of the Gulf War cease fire? That's a new one....

I didn't use the word potential. Iraq violated the cease fire pretty much daily.

And I already stated that was not our official reason for going in. I get that. However, it certainly means it wasn't illegal.
