N Korea is working its way towards what Iraq was. The comparison is not quite to the parallel level yet.
Bombing palaces would not have effected the necessary result. Gadaffy duck showed that.
Working it's way toward? Dude, they have nukes! All Saddam ever had was chemical weapons and the very basics of nuclear weapon research. Nothing compared to what North Korea had even during the
Clinton administration much less now. Yet you give North Korea a pass and support spilling American blood and treasure on Iraq. Again, why?
Support the cost of invading Iraq or admit you are wrong. Personally, I strongly doubt you can do either.
Bombing destroys research facilities. The Israelis proved that in Iraq as did the US and Brits against the Germans in WWII.
So, like the Bush administration, are you admitting this wasn't about stopping Saddam's research into WMDs?
Again, what was the purpose of invading Iraq at such a high cost and for what purpose?
