    And I think we are going back in. No matter who the next president is. Obama has sent troops but that will be accelerated. Even Hillary has more balls than Obama. She's far more hawkish.

    Also, once saddam was overthrown, he should have been replaced by another dictator. Either that or McCain was right about 100 years.

    We're going back in because of Obama, to take back what we already had. Saddam was a secularist sitting between the sunni and shia. We should have left it alone.

    I agree,I supported the Iraq Invasion for many rational reasons, and I'm not directing this toward you or anyone in particular but hind sight is 20/20. It would be nice to be able to see down the road the results of the things we are contemplating.

    I understand why anyone would want to take Saddam out. I also understand why we didn't. It was actually foresight, not hindsight. We knew in 91 what the end result would be and we were right. GWB should have listened to GWHB.

    Be that as it may, if you go in, you go in to win.
