Well it is JRK who keeps posting a series of half truths about the Iraq invasion and occupation designed to validate this strategic blunder.
Finding 500 war heads with banned material in them is I admit is a 1/2 truth. The rest of the truth is Saddam was not suppose to have had any in any condition
Ridding the world of Saddam was only 1/2 of the truth, it was also a under reported fact much of the fighting that was done in Iraq was with AL Qaeda
Blunder? Its over Boo, we won OK.
Well at least you admit the first two, now about that al Queda in Iraq business.....
But some students of the insurgency say Mr. McCain is making a dangerous generalization. The U.S. has not been fighting Al Qaeda, its been fighting Iraqis, said Juan Cole, a fierce critic of the war who is the author of Sacred Space and Holy War: The Politics, Culture and History of Shiite Islam and a professor of history at the University of Michigan. A member of Al Qaeda is technically defined as someone who pledges fealty to Osama bin Laden and is given a terror operation to carry out. Its kind of like the Mafia, Mr. Cole said. You make your bones, and youre loyal to a capo. And I dont know if anyone in Iraq quite fits that technical definition.

I am a fairly simple man
When it comes to Iraq, chasing the spam only confuses the issues we over came there
Its kind of like walking up o a total stranger and saying to him, "you know I could understand why you would want to beat your wife"
Once you make the accusation that has nothing to do with anything, those who hear it no matter how hard you try to undo it, it will all ways be there
That is the same thing you keep doing. You keep bringing items into this event that have no place in them
"what-ifs"
its like saying that Iraq's president is loyal to Iran because he had some discussions with them (I guess, not sure why anyone would keep saying that)
there is no proof one way or the other with that. But keeping making the what -ifs and bam, the truth has lost its place with many
