Mostly been a religious debate hall lately and there hasnt been any war discussion sooo:
So the Iraqi war, although not over, is slowly winding down, or at least garnering less attention. It has been 5, or 6 years, and what really did America accomplish by its invasion of Iraq? I was reading :"Seven Fallacies of U.S. Plans to Invade Iraq," and the August 2002 Foreign Policy in Focus policy report found an interesting tidbit:
Not excusing Saddam from the wrongs he did, but was the war really necessary? What side of the issue are you on?

Hussein hated bin laden(the terrorist labeled responsible for 9/11)! Bin laden sent a courier to curry(no pun intended) favor from Hussein, and hussein cut off the couriers head and sent it back to him in a box. He wanted nothing to do with Al-Qaeda.in the early 1980s, Washington dropped Iraq from its list of countries that sponsored terrorism so the U.S. could bolster Iraq's war effort against Iran. Baghdad was reinstated to the list only after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, even though U.S. officials were unable to cite any increased Iraqi ties to terrorist groups...
Although Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld insists that Iraq is backing international terrorism, he has been unable to present any evidence that they currently do so. In fact, the State Department's own annual study Patterns of Global Terrorism did not list any serious act of international terrorism by the government of Iraq.
