Frequently we have idiots bitch and moan about how stupid GWB was for the Liberation of Iraq and their main meme is there were no WMDs!
RIGHT. There were none that the USA would admit after the USA dismantled Iraq's army. No question.
SO????
How many of you REALLY REALLY SMART people that constantly berate GWB for the Liberation of Iraq
make the statement there were no WMDs. WELL DUH!!!!!!
Just as Rubio said..
Rubio, asked Wednesday whether, knowing what is known now about Iraq, he would have still authorized a war, said absolutely not.
“Not only would I not have been in favor of it, President [George W.] Bush would not have been in favor of it," Rubio said following a major foreign policy speech at the Council of Foreign Relations in New York.
No, I don't believe. ... The world is a better place because Saddam Hussein is not in Iraq. Here's what I think might have happened, had we not gone. You might have had an arms race to put Iraq in Iran -- they both would pursue the weapons. I will be dealing with two problems, not just one. We forget that Iraq, at the time of the invasion, was in open defiance of numerous United Nations Security Council resolutions, that the United Nations refused to enforce. They refused to comply with allowing inspectors in. Repeatedly, this was a country whose leader had gassed his own people on numerous occasions.
So I think, hindsight is always 20/20, but we don't know what the world would look like if Saddam Hussein was still there. But I doubt it would look better in terms of -- it will be worse -- or just as bad for different reasons. I think it's very difficult to predict, I think. A better notion is, at the end of the Iraq war, Iraq had an opportunity to have a stable, peaceful future.
