BJ, your taking what I said out of context. Going into Iraq on the information we had at the time was the right thing to do. Heck, it was still the right thing to do. When we "win" in Iraq, the war on terrorism will not be over. This is what I meant. Saddam needed to go, there was no doubt about it. Years and years of sanctions and resolutions did nothing. On an almost daily basis Iraq would shoot at our planes patrolling the no fly zone. What about the mass graves that were found? What about when he USED weapons of mass destruction on his own people?

As for France, Russia and Germany - since when do we need their approval or agreement to protect this country? BTW, don't you think there was a reason they didn't go along with us?

TAKE A LOOK HERE

They were all in cahoots with Iraq selling arms and the like. Nice huh?


Also, since the recent terror attacks in Russia, it appears that Putin all of a sudden woke up and has now changed his policy to one of preemption, as we did shortly after 9/11.

A quote from the article reads:

Russian armed forces will launch preemptive strikes against terrorist bases, Yury Baluyevsky, Senior Defense Minister of the Russian Federation and Chief of the General Staff, told reporters.

“Preventive strikes on these bases will be carried out regardless of what region they are located in,” he stressed. “It does not mean that we are planning nuclear strikes. The forms and methods will depend on the circumstances,” Baluyevsky said.


Once France and Germany experience some horrendous terror attacks, their policies will change as well. Our administration has the right idea on preemption. It must be done. We are fighting people that will stop at nothing to launch another attack on us and kill thousands of innocent people.


Yes, it's sad that over 1,000 of our men and women were killed defending our freedoms and everyone of them are hero's. Each death is tragic, but it's hard not to think that it's better for people to die taking the fight to the terrorists than for them to die fearfully in their home cities. We have been in Iraq for what, over a year now? Now, I am in no way making light of the number of soldiers that have died to date in Iraq, but we need to put this number in perspective. On D-day alone, in a 24 hour period, over 4,500 allied soldiers lost their life. At the peak of Vietnam, there were hundreds of soldiers being killed every week.

Can we please not forget about the more than 3,500 people that were killed on September 11, 2001.

Yes, the national debt has increased but what did you think it's going to do after we were attacked on 9/11? War, security, keeping the airline industry alive.. this things cost money.
