No wonder he's so angry, if I felt that way I'd be too.

you dont have to earn the right to speak your mind, we all have the right in this country. Maybe this guy should realize that many people in Iraq and other middle east countries have the right now too. I dont think there would have been an "Arab Spring" without the US Invasion of Iraq. As Jim said, Bush didnt get rich from Iraq, and neither did his oil buddies. Its just not true and anyone with any understand of supply and demand would get it. My hear goes out to all vets, many of our nations finest perished in bad policy, bad military decisions. But to say there was malevolence and deceit from Bush is plan crap.

I hate discussing politics. Even more I hate discussing the Iraq War. So I will not debate it.
This article was sent to me, and I have two problems with what he writes:

1). First he says: "did not pose a threat to its neighbors, much less to the United States.". Then in another paragraph he called it a "Pre-emptive war".
How would it be pre-emptive if there was never a threat?

2). I am not a defender of Bush, but he has had no say with the VA for over 4 years, and it is backlogged more now than ever. Why is no blame being placed on the current president?

Seems a bit skewed to me.
