We are witnessing the fall of Saigon. The only difference is that they're building another Ho Chi Mihn trail right here in America.

And the innocent will die with the rest of us.
Great movie.

But..but....those chemical weapons were too old.. useless and no longer fit to be used as weapons.
I don't want to hear there were no WMD's in Iraq any more. The media beat that drum to get Bush impeached if possible and get a Dem elected. And now their lies have been exposed.

If the WMD's were there and we didn't find them after a decade of occupation, then who looks stupid? SNAFU.

It doesn't matter. We now know they were there. There is no IF.

So if WMD's were there and it was the justification for a trillion dollar war and 10 year occupation and we came away with nothing, it doesn't matter?
Basically, you are saying we were right to invade, but really stupid for 10 years because our real reason was nation-building. Hell the 3 stooges could have come up with a better strategy.
It would be less embarrassing if the WMD are not found even if they were there. Bottom line, we the USA come off looking like fools and fools we are.

Some were found, and reported, but the media let the lie that they didn't exist persist.
The vast majority of Saddam's chemical weapons were moved to Syria prior to the U.S. invasion.

Let's try this: if Hillary was POTUS, would the International Green Zone in Baghdad now be under attack?
If John Kerry was POTUS, would the International Green Zone in Baghdad now be under attack?
If Pannetta was POTUS, would the International Green Zone in Baghdad now be under attack?
This is not a Dem vs GOP equation.
This is a Dim vs Dem equation.

I agree with you, though I'm not so sure about Kerry.

Jeebus, you are moron. Bush had the situation stable and was helping the Iraqi government and things looked good. In comes Obama and he ignores the Iraqi PM's request and then fails to get a SOFA while skipping meetings where there was concern that the Iraqi government was pissing off the sunni's.
Also you do realize that Saddam's sons who could possible have been in power by now were more evil than saddam and crazier than the guy in NK.
Just admit that Obama freaked up, but you can't because you are a hack.

uh dude, there was a huge theard on a NYT article about the military finding WMD's and covering the sick soldiers just last week. There is an argument to be made that mustard gas @ 84% is not an effective weapon as 90% but to say there were NO WMD's is a flat out lie.

Anyone that wants to hear an amazing interview from last week regarding all of the things being discussed in this thread, I highly recommend this podcast.

Complete bullshite. The link he refers to shows clearly that NONE of the 24 incidents took placed in the Green Zone. This is just more of the same stuff that has been going on in Baghdad for the past month.

Here is the Green Zone:

Here is the map showing the 24 significant events in a 72-hour period in Baghdad that killed 29 and injured 87, acording to CNN's Ben Wedeman, who the OP stated was the source of the "Green Zone under attack" basis of this thread:
"Ben Wedeman from CNN. Check his twitter feed."
LINK
As you can clearly see, none of the 24 numbered events took place in the Green Zone. The thread titled should be changed as it is just plain false.
