War in Iraq (Gulf War II): June 2003 Archives

If you look back through the archives there are numerous entries concerning the war in Irag, GWII, I guess it's being called.

I haven't written much about it lately. It seems like the worst of it is over for now. That's easy for me to say since I am not there.

Although, I didn't really believe that WMD were the key reason we were going to war, I am surprised none have been found. I know it's a big country, but if they were there, wouldn't someone want to step forward and point them out. I believe there would be significant financial incentive to do just that. Even if they were spirited out of the country you would think there would still be supply chain kind of evidence.

Now if WMD are never found, someone has to answer. I wonder if this will turn up as an election year question for 2004?

At this point it looks more the the Defense folks took the word of Iraqi dissidents too seriously. The question is did the U.S. ignore credible evidence to the contrary? Did we cook the books because some nation had to pay and Iraq was the simplest choice. I hope not.

I wonder if the phenomena of blogging will quiet down as a result of warbloggers having less to blog about?

The $64K question is where is Saddam? Will we hear from him again, or is he gone like Dr. Evil?
