We are the ones responsible to determine whether the war that our marines, soldiers and airmen are fighting in is worth the cause.

I can train a monkey to wave an American flag. That does not make the monkey patriotic.

Iraq has a tremendous amount of history.

The most dangerous thing Iraq could have ever had was a nuclear weapon. The nuclear weapon Iraq was trying to build was not deliverable by bomb or ballistic missile. It was a large, bulky device that they hoped to bury and set off to let the world know they had a nuclear weapon. They never achieved that.
