Ok guys. I usually stay out of political talks like this but I am guessing I need to step in. Instead of just reading the news and believing everything reporters say, why don't you just ask a person in the military.
I am active duty military. I have served two 15 month rotations over there. I know a lot of what went on and is still going on. Yes we knew the WMDs got moved into Syria. We watched them do it. Now why didn't we go get them? Hhhhmmmm because they are considered an allie.
There has been several times that we got hit over in Iraq with chemical weapons. Believe it or not. Trust me you don't want to know what it feels like driving a truck in a chemical suit during the month of August over there. We have grabbed all their reports on their chemical weapons testing. We do know how far they have gotten on their research.
No we didn't know where Saddam was till we found him. Satellites and UAVs are great for watching people but you can still lose someone.
I know most of the American public doesn't want us over there. Hell I agree. I hate leaving my family to spend 15 months over there. But to all of you people that keep telling everyone to "Wake Up", just do what we do when I am told I am going back over there, Shut the F*** Up and deal with it. If you think you know how to run a country or a war, then put your money were your mouth is and do something about. I could give a crap less if the WMDs are still there or not. Because one of the things reporters are not telling you, is how happy and thankful the true Iraqi people are that we removed Saddam out of power.
