That is true, but since Iraq never had any weapons of mass destruction the whole justification for the war can be seen and indeed is; illegal under International Law such as invasion of one nations soil by a foreign power, denial of the right by a sovereign state to its rights of self determination and self governance and the use of arms without a formal declaration of war until hostilities had already begun among others.
The longer US troops remain in Iraq the more Presidents of these here United States will have to deal with it, it has already been handed off too its second President and despite what President Obama says I doubt that all of those troops are coming home (I will see what happens, and what happens, happens) and if it gets handed off to President number three then it will be a second Nam we haven't seen the draft yet maybe we will or not who can say.
After all the longer this war goes on the more opportunity there is for the DOD and maybe the NSA and the CIA to test all those new toy's they've had in the works for years form sonic and particle beam weapons to multi-person mind control and the like, after all you don't think they spend $20,000 on a Wrench do you?
There are two kinds of people on the hill people Hawks and Doves not so many doves since 9/11 and since the hill is run by Hawks nowadays and that the defense industry is in so many peoples hip pockets (Yes, Sir they surly are) it maybe some time before Nam Mk II sorry I mean the debacle that is Iraq comes to an end.
Well that's my tow bits worth and by the way I have little faith in either politicians or human nature, and if things end soon fine if not oh well and as Bug's Bunny Said "What's with all the hubbub, bub".
