Yes, additional time for the Weapons Inspectors to complete their assigned task was much more than the option I was referring to. It was clearly the best and most viable option! I thought that at the time and I am even more convinced today.After that six months would you have supported the invasion?
I suspect that most of the 4500+ families who lost a loved one following the ill fated and ill advised spring of 2003 would probably agree. Attaining final confirmation from the Weapons Inspectors should have been a top priority, but it obviously was not to the Shrubbie/Darth Administration.
It was not as if "the invasion" had to occur during the spring of 2003. If WMD's were found by the Weapons Inspectors, 'the invasion' could have just as easily been delayed to the fall of 2003. Could it not?
LLIdiot, you are living proof that it is hard to teach an old, worn out dog, new tricks! Go ahead and cling to your mistaken notion that Shrubbie made a noble gesture and the even more mistakable notion that the world is now a safer place because of the actions of the "Decider-in-Chief."
Meanwhile, an overwhelming percentage of the residents of this country soon came to realize that the ill fated and ill advised spring of 2003 of Iraq was a mistake of monumental proportions. In fact, I would submit that it was the worst foreign policy mistake made by an American President since the Vietnam War. Truth be known, there is not a close 2nd!
