I was opposed to the Iraq War before it started and for every second it has been fought. That said, I’d like to say some things about how it’s been conducted.
We were told that we were going to war with Iraq because they were building Atomic Bombs and Chemical and Biological weapons. That was not true and our leaders knew that they had no evidence that it was true. The real reason was a sort of secret – we had a new foreign policy called the Bush Doctrine:
- Pre-emption
- Unilateral Action
- Strength Beyond Question
- Spreading Democracy
Why didn’t we reinstitute the draft? Because it might have been unpopular with the voters and the little white boys and girls that live in the suburbs would’ve had to fight in it. That would’ve really not been good because their parents would’ve been really mad that there weren’t any bad weapons and would’ve raised holy hell when some of them were killed. So the Bush Doctrine was really:
- Pre-emption
- Unilateral Action
- Strength Very Questionable
- Spreading Democracy as an excuse for ignoring our intelligence
I’ve linked this on my site. You are dead on once again, Mickey. Our little war was based, like their form of government, on incompetent theory and it’s failed. Now, where did I put those marchin’ shoes?
