And there in lies the rub. Never in our future have we engaged in preemptive war fare. Many believe that is wrong for us to do. There is a good argument to go after a clear and eminent threat before it strikes the U.S. However, I have a very big problem basing preemptive wars on intelligence assets that are so lacking. Our intelligence "thought" there was a good case to go into Iraq. That case has not been proved to 100%. What, maybe 50/50? We said Iran had a active nuclear program, only to later find out it had been inactive for 3 years. If you want me to sign on to another preemptive war, it had better be a clear, indisputable, immediate threat based on something more than some intelligence info.

If they are in Syria as everyone seems to know, then we need to invade Syria for the same reasons we invaded Iraq.
Uhm,
I thought we wanted to invade Iran ???
Does Syria have oil, or just a confirmed case of the WMD's

I absolutely agree. I have my differences with how we got into this war and how it was conducted (not by the troops) at the beginning, but the fact remains that we need to focus on what we need to do to secure the country and get the hell out.

I'm all for making sure that the evidence is indisputable.

Yes, that argument would be called the Constitution!

Ya care to enlighten us as to where he hid these WMD? I think our forces are savvy enough to find whatever he hid. T-minus five years, nothing.

Here's a stick, the dead horse is waiting.
