Now im a big supporter for our troops over seas doing humanitarian work, and fighting that war. I believe that the troops have done a fantastic job stopping the terrorist. The American Troops have my support as always.

Absoluetly. They're fighting for freedom, and they're willing to volunteer their time, their money, and their lives in order to do so.

There is no more honorable a pursuit than the defence of freedom.

The problem is not the job of the troops, but the decisions of out government.

I am proud of the troops. Because first of all my hubby is over there and I think the other troops are doing a great job . I think they are proud to serve the country. They don't show the good that is going on.

News spread lies and show the bad. I don't trust the media far as I can throw them.

I am proud of the troops too. Very much so. But you know what? The Liberal media needs to stop undermining our war effort, like they've done for this whole time.

I am proud of our troops and I believe in them, But what I do not believe in is this war.

I see it as waste of time, effort, resources and man power leaving our country open to another attack.

I'll post it here, too.

You make up your mind, but you tell me if these constitute WMDs. I say yes. So you tell me if I (and Hannity) am right, or if the mainstream media and left-wing Democrats are right. Now, I quote the Great Sean Hannity:

"In April, 2003 US Weapons Inspectors took control of 500 tons of Uranium that Saddam kept stored at his former Nuclear Weapons developement plant just south of Baghdad. British nuclear physisist (can't make out the name, Norman D. something, I believe) estimated that if they had been fully enriched, Saddam's Uranium stockpile could have produced 142 Hiroshima-sized nuclear bombs. ...So you can either believe the Media, that says that no Weapons of Mass Destruction were found, or you could think, 'Hey, that sounds like a Weapon of Mass Destruction to me, or potential.'

Then in June of 2004, the US Energy Department took posession of 1.8 tons of partially enriched Uranium that had been stored in the same nuclear facility, saying that the banned material could have been used to produce so-called 'Dirt Bombs.'"

"...When he was debriefed by US intelligence in late 2003, Dr. Madi Obidi (something like that), this guy, remember, he was Saddam's chief scientist incharge of perfecting centerfuge (I think) technology. Remember the NY Times article on this? It revealed that he had been ordered under Penalty of Death to hide top-secret centerfuge plans along with some actual components and keep them ready for future use. His documents appear in his 2004 book, if you recall, 'The Bomb in my Garden.'"

"...Or in July of 2003, a US Marine on patrol outside of Baghdad stumbled over a metal object...and then after a little digging with his hands, he determined that the object was the tail-fin of an aircraft. ...Before the escavation team was out, they discovered 30 state-of-the-art Ruassian-built combat aircraft. The find represented approximately 1/3 of Saddam's Gulf War-era airforce. Iraqi technicians had carefully packed the aircrafts to make sure that they could be used in the future."

"Then, in August of 2003, an Iraqi survey group--this is the one led by Charles Dufler--announced that they had found dozens of unexploded artiliary shells loaded with sarin gas and blistering agents."

"Then, in February of 2003, in his speech to the United Nations, Colin Powell played those audio tapes of Iraqi military officials talking about getting rid of Weapons of Mass Destruction that they had in late 2002. Remember, for example, the Iraqi Colonel said, quote, 'We have this modified vehicle. What do we say if one of them sees it?' Then the Iraqi general responds, 'I'll come see you in the morning. I'm worried. You all have something left.' The Colonel says, 'We've evacuated everything. We don't have anything left.' The General, 'I'll come see you tomorrow.' What do you think they were hiding?"

"In August 2004, the Washington Times reported, 'Saddam Hussein periodically removed guards on the Syrian border and replaced them with his own intelligence agents, who supervised the movement of banned materials between the two countries, US investigators have discovered. Two defense sources told the Washington Times that those Iraqis who've been interviewed, who've told of Saddam dispatching his trusted Iraqi intelligence service members to the border where they would send border inspectors away. The ship was followed by movement of trucks in and out of Syria suspected of carrying materials banned by UN sanctions. Once the shipments were made, the agents would leave, and the regular border patrol guards would resume their post.'"

"...we know he had them. We know he used them. We know that he never cooperated. And for this to be held out by the left as a constant montra of attack against President Bush shows me that they are still working to undermine this war effort, and the people that are involved in it."

Alright, so you make up your own mind. But if these don't prove WMDs, then I'm Michael Moore. How could bush have lied?

Troops doing a good job but the reason they went to war is wrong.

But does it mean you have to undermine the war effort, like all Liberals are doing? (That is, saying "We're there for nothing," "We're there for a lie," "We're there for oil," "Things are going nothing but bad there," etc.

They get paid to do what they are doing and what they are doing is a good job but like I said before the reason we went there was wrong. I knew that there wasn't going to be any WMD's there used to be but there weren't as of the time Bush called for war. Thats all I have to say.

Okay, that's fine. I respect your opinion. But I do think you're wrong On multiple fronts. Including the WMD.

The only thing I'll agree with about the war was we had to get Sadam but the reason and methods for doing it was wrong. Several Nations declined wanting us to go to war doesn't that say something?

Yes. That they were receiving bribes from the dictator, such as France, Russia, Germany, China, and the UN
