Then what is the motive for invading Iraq? Saddam, IMO was enough of a WMD, he was motive enough.

Saddam was a known quantity and was not considered a threat ot the region. The US Military leaders reponsible for the region said that over and over. It was ignored and the hawks with in the administration were the motivators for going into Iraq. They turned a situation where they had a toothless lion contained into a a country which is now an incubator for hate. Massive massive strategic error. [/b][/quote]
A known quality? You call the mass graves part of a known quality? You call slaughtering your own people a known quality?
Yes maybe at one time he was an ally or known quality, but with too much power he had to be ousted, just like Napoleon had to be defeated.
Iraq is way better off without him know Lanny, you should realize that, and Kerry will realize that Iraq needs the stabalization of the troops for quite some time more until everything is cleaned up.
The media largely under Democract influence of course wouldn't tell the American people that Iraq is doing better.
Take a look at these pictures and tell me what you see,

I see Iraqi children doing something they haven't ever experianced before.
In fact i see Iraq striving to be a First World country in the future, but it won't happen if the US troops are pulled home.
And the WMD were there, Saddam just moved them elsewhere before the war began.
