1. Saddam has weapons of mass destruction - LIE



Not a lie. It may have been wrong but it was definitely not a lie. The one
point before the war on which there was agreement was that Saddam had WMD.



2. Saddam has ties to Al Queda - LIE



Not a lie, Saddams ties to Al Qaeda were demonstrated.



3. Saddam is a threat to America - LIE



How so? Saddam with WMD is certainly a threat to America and it was agreed
that he had WMD.



4. Saddam was attempting to buy Uranium from Niger - LIE



Not a lie, Saddam did attempt that.



5. Deposing Saddam will make America safer - LIE



Not a lie, the whole world is safer without Saddam.



6. The Iraqi people will greet American troops as liberators and there
will be no need for massive numbers of troops to secure the country
afterwards - WRONG



Many Iraqis did greet American troops as liberators.



Ok, which reasons do you think I missed?



I don't know, but it doesn't matter. You were wrong on all counts.

Unfortunately, when your only view of the world is through the
mainstream media, it is very easy to be wrong on things like this. Very
few reports have been made of the many Iraqis who greeted the US with
open arms, or helped out captured and wounded American troops, but this
has happened all of the time as conveyed by the troops themselves. If
things were as universally bad in Iraq as the liberal media portrays,
you wouldn't have had the military overwhelmingly supporting, and voting
for, Bush.
