Remember Iraq?

Check THIS link out. Or THIS. Or THIS.
To date, 1,762 Americans have died in Iraq. Another 15,000 to 38,000 have been wounded (Officially 13,190). And that doesn't count the 25,869 civilian deaths. These aren't numbers. They're people. (Yeah, I know, Saddam killed Iraqi civilians, too. But there's a difference.)
It has cost us $181 billion so far.
And NO weapons of mass destructions have ever been found.
And NO al Quada connection has ever been found.
And NO terrorist camps.
And NO plans to spread worldwide terrorism have ever been found.
And, given the price at the pump, the oil isn't even flowing.
One accomplishment, however: while Iraq under Saddam was NOT friendly to terrorists, it's now a major terrorist staging ground since we opened the borders.
Anyone read the Downing Street memo yet?
Why, again, are we there? No answers yet.

And so it goes.
