This... One hundred percent.

Hindsight had nothing to do with it. Saddam was a petty SECULAR dictator. We are at war with radical jihadists right? Even if he did have WMD. He can't hit us with them. Israel can defend itself from his scuds. What do we care? Defending Saudi Arabia from him is what initially made us a target for the jihadists... Defending a tyrannical monarchy from a tyrannical punk ass dictator that we once supported... Nevermind the fact that it was a poorly planned and executed war up to, and including Obama's withdrawal. Many lives were lost or ruined over that nonsense. I love the fact that the veterans I've met from that war are proud of their service. I'm proud of them too. I just don't think they should have been put in harm's way in Iraq. I also find it ironic that Colin Powell went along with the whole thing, it seemed to me like it violated his own doctrine.
