Dated (I know) but I just found/read it. Very LONG article dealing with the "why's" of the Iraq War. My personal opinion is that we went into Iraq without real evidence. Now, I'm not so sure. This backs up some of what President Bush can't seem to articulate-- there was evidence/reasoning for invading Iraq. Not rock solid, but a great bit of info (especially if you're looking for ammo to knock someone who says we have no reason for being there- which I've done just for fun).

Hey buddy. That was quite long. A great idea would be to summarize it, you know, for them people who aint got time.

Napoleon... bit of advice... MAKE TIME...
there are no limits or constraints on learning..while I don't encourage or appreciate ' cut and paste ' on sites [ clutter factor - personal irritation ]... posting a link offers the best opportunity for first impression and ' right from the proper authority' info.. then, by all means, post a cogent and reasoned comment on the article or site presented [ pro or con ]...we'll see what you think and discuss and debate..stimulates the mind...

much better than a quick palimpest of content..


for a kid who's just started posting you're starting to rub me the wrong way... either that or my breakfast beer is curdling the corn flakes again...

napolean,you disrespected a Marine Gunnery Sergeant.That is not tolerated.
I am a civilian and I take offense to your demeaning tone and attitude.
patoloco has forgotten more than you will EVER know about the military.
Rocketeer has given you some good advice.Heed it.
Remember we are VISITORS to this site,being non-veterans.You can disagree but you cannot disrepect a man that has served this nation well.

Frankly Coach at the present time his attitude needs adjusting so he can get past the Recruiter first.
