"The case of Saddam Hussein, a sworn enemy of our country, requires a candid appraisal of the facts.... [W]e now know that Saddam has resumed his efforts to acquire nuclear weapons.... Many of us are convinced that Saddam will acquire nuclear weapons fairly soon....
"Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction. There is no doubt he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us....
"As President Bush has said, time is not on our side. Deliverable weapons of mass destruction in the hands of a terror network, or a murderous dictator, or the two working together, constitutes as grave a threat as can be imagined. The risks of inaction are far greater than the risk of action."
The rest, as they say, is history. We were greeted as liberators with flowers and candy after a cakewalk to Baghdad and democracy has flourished across the Middle East.
Meanwhile, back in the reality based community, we're at 3728 troops down, with an undetermined number to follow.
