Wrong!

We were against it because it was pre-emptive, and against international law. The justifications for it were flimsy. We knew it. Bush knew it.
But spoiled rotten GWBush took the silver spoon out of his mouth long enough to declare war and send us all into the breech, while he pulled out his six guns and his arrogance and went to war. WE knew the unrest and the killing were to come.

And oh, by the way.....your line about how this war will make Iraq a lovely place in just a few more years just got shot down:

The output of Iraq's national electrical grid is also lower than it was PRIOR to the invasion."

There you go, there's your "intelligent" President clearing space over there for evolution......
