and, i had no problem with how we fought the taliban/iraq wars. while i do not think that iraq actually put up much of a concerted defense, i still think it was amazing how we took over the country in such a short time. and at no point was i calling it a quagmire or anything else. i knew the military had it under control.
it's not really that i'm getting impatient with us not finding WMD yet. i'm more just speculating on if, IF we get to a point where we acknowledge there were no WMD at that time.
again, as i've always said, that doesn't make saddam an angel. he still defied UN resolutions; he still kept the capabilities to quickly produce WMD, he still brutalized his people, and he still associated, at the very least minimally, with groups that would do us harm.
i'm just questioning, hyptothetically, whether our decision to go to war would've been the same had the threat not appeared quite so imminent.
(some quotes from president bush's speech on the commencment of combat
My fellow citizens, at this hour, American and coalition forces are in the early stages of military operations to disarm Iraq, to free its people and to defend the world from grave danger.

The people of the United States and our friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder.

the early spin was that the threat was imminent.
