As another Gulf War era veteran, I'd like to start by saying Bill O'Reilly is a fucking fucktard. That being said, here are my thoughts on Iraq; Bush did not invade Iraq on 'bad' intelligence. He invaded Iraq on fictional intelligence reports which he, Cheney, and Powell coerced out of the CIA and NSA. Before the invasion, the world's most respected weapons experts were in Iraq, doing a great job. Before the war, a small group of terrorists were angry enough with the U.S. to attack. Now, many more people are far more angry with us, and for some damned good reasons. As much as I hate to see our troops harmed, I cannot blame the Iraqis for fighting for their sovereignity. What would we do if we were invaded, our military forces destroyed, and unendingly occupied? We'd organize local militias and go after our invaders with shotguns and pipe bombs. Wouldn't we?

Frankly, if a candidate came along and his/her only platform was the immediate removal of American troops from Iraq, my vote would swing to that person. We should allow Iraq to rebuild itself. They aren't about to let us do it, that's for damned sure.
