Benghazi - Is what happened important or not?

Quote:Wow, with some hesitation I'll wade back into this:


WMD's were fund in Iraq. Check the NY Times story about by CJ Chivers, 10/14/2014. Mustard and nerve agents were found in shells and bombs.

Quite a few WMD's were moved to Syria prior to the invasion.


There were other reason for the US invasion of Iraq also.

Iraqi forces fired on US aircraft in the "no fly zones" for months prior to the invasion. That is an act of war. It happened many, many times.

Radar lock alone is considered an act of war. My younger brother was on some of those flights.


Saddam was training and funding terror operations. There was a terrorist training camp at Salmon Pak. The camp was complete with an airliner for training, class rooms and barracks. I saw this myself.


Lastly, personally I do not think the US should have invaded Iraq. However, I cannot let the [BAD WORD REMOVED] about "no WMD's" and "all for Haliburton profits" go unchecked because it's just not true.
The threat we were told about was that there were rockets able to reach American soil. What you describe is similar to what Chemical Ali used. We made bin Laden the face of terror and attacked Hussein.
Only a chump boos the home team!
