IF you are still looking for a good beach read with a big dose of vigilante justice...check out my thriller," Pendulum of Justice"
"Convert this to a movie script and sell to Hollywood. Excellent theme and plot."

    At least some of Saddam's chemical weapons were found in Syria before Saddam took a dirt nap. A friend of mine helped "neutralize" them.

    Our war was ill-conceived. we had no intention of winning. I have no doubt most components (not decimated in initial bombings) were shipped out to Syria, Iran, and other places we may not know

      America has lacked the political will to actually win a war since WW2.

      Every war since has been inconclusive, which of course means the higher chance of having to fight it again.

      I would agree, depending on your definitions of "ill-conceived" and "war".

      Iraq was (or at least should have been) only one theater of the war on terror (think, Pacific theater/European Theater in WWII).

      The idea of invading Iraq... not ill-conceived. The idea of nation building... ill-conceived. The idea that we have to be loved, have to be the good guys, have to show how kind and benevolent (and therefore how morally superior) we are... ill-conceived.

      Going in and stomping the middle east into a subjugated hole in the ground... not ill-conceived.

    Saddam boasted he had weapons of mass destruction. He had a history of using them against his own citizens. The inspectors were denied necessary access to make proper conclusion. It is no surprise that remnants have been found. It is also no surprise that the MSM does not report stories that contradict their preferred narrative.

    I don’t understand that after the first gulf war and during the second gulf war, we didn’t completely destroy this facility that housed weapons of mass dissection in Iraq. Kind of to the point that they did exist and that ISIS wanted to capture the facility that we left intact. But no WMD found in Iraq, right?

      Colon Powell (yes, mispelled intentionally).

      He told Bush I that invading Iraq would exceed our U.N. mandate and that we would lose our allies if we invaded.

      Why we didn't destroy them during the Iraq invasion... probably because we kept acting like we were "guests" liberating our "good friends" from some occupying force.
