Where were the weapons of mass destruction? Akayeda were not in Iraq til we invaded.Psycho Sadam hated them..he was secular..He also hated Iran and kept them at bay at the expense of the Iraqii people.Iraq has been decimated.Depleted uranium is every where..Wars for control of oil not working for anyone but private companies like Blackwater...Torture was an immoral idea also.

Generals don't make policy, generals follow orders and make plans that are adapted to cover all scenarios. General Franks didn't give anyone the intelligence reports claiming WMD, that was done by the intel community, and that's a whole different animal from the military.

Franks spoke in Tulsa a few years ago, he was excellent.

Polar Bear, you need to stop drinking the Kool-Aid and get some facts straight. Here's what happened to Sadam's weapons of mass destruction (not counting the gassing of thousands of his own Iraqis by chemical weapons)...

In the early 1980's Iraq, under Saddam Hussein began building the Osiraq nuclear reactor. Israel feared that Iraq would use the reactor to build nuclear weapons and bomb Israel. When negotiations didn't work, Israel, under Prime Minister Menachem Begin decided to bomb the reactor. In June of 1981, a squadron of fighter jets flew into Iraq, bombed the reactor and returned safely home. The successful mission was met with praise in Israel but condemnation from other countries. These same countries later thanked Israel during the 1991 Persian Gulf War when Iraq's further plans for war were revealed.
