Nobody of consequence disputed that either. Other world leaders, Democrat and Republican Senators and Congressmen all were saying he had them and we needed to go to war, hell...Colin Powell made that big presentation to the U.N. (because back then we got world approval before attacking).
Ironically, one of the few who never agreed with going to war in Iraq was Barrack Obama. Funny how power changed his viewpoint.
I THINK Assad's govt. forces DID gas those people.
And I THOUGHT that Saddam Hussein was making a nuclear weapon as well.
And I'm smart enough not to make the same dumbass mistake twice. Too bad the Pres. is not.
You can't trust what these politicians are telling you.
I know that for some reason you seemed hell-bent on bombing and KILLING Syrians. So you're viewpoint is a little bit slanted that way.
But I for one...and most of the country and the world, are in no mood to start killing people based on U.S. "intelligence" again.
I'm glad this thing is working out another way.

Well, actually most people of consequence disputed the Iraq facts and it really SHOULD be a part of history now as it's been done for so long! You don't remember the French ambassador to the UN calling for the weapons inspections to be completed? And the retarded response of war hungry idiots pouring out wine and renaming french fries? He was RIGHT all along. That war was brought on by war hawks has-beens like cheney, rumy, wolfy and that ilk. It was not even surprising.
Comparing something like THAT to this is very wrong.
What we're seeing now is a president who wants to enforce the UN and other treaties against those weapons. We also see other openings and so he's not being an idiot and charging in anyway. AND naturally now we see political parties claiming that there's no leadership out of the oval office because he's NOT attacking! Fuckers in politics want it every way, lmao. As usual.
Anyway, we've been down this before. Some people you could sit on your lap and watch the missiles being launched and landing and people dying from the gas and they would claim no.. I was in the matrix.
Oh and by the way, you have my standing on this all wrong. I've said repeatedly that WHOEVER used the chemical weapons should be spanked HARD for it. Whether it's the gov, the rebs, or a third party. I"m not for war. I am all for making it clear that it's wrong. Guess what? They haven't been used since and now it looks like they'll make a deal to get rid of their previously non existent chemical weapons.
