Invading a country to take its resources is the definition of waging aggressive war, one of the charges on which the Nazi leadership was convicted at Nuremberg. At least GWB had the decency to pretend his Iraq adventure was about fighting terrorism.

No. And that's not the point anyway, chickenhawk. We didn't hold it cheaply.

His point was stupid. We can get into the particulars of the invasion and how long the build-up and deployment took, but the idea that they should suck our knees because we can take their country at the flick of a switch is retarded.

I mean those aren't really particulars. I wasn't in the initial invasion I made my way to Afghanistan later but it did fall quick. He said we can take them over at will. We can and have proven so. They got rolled
