Rick Perry said that once we're out of Iraq, Iran is going to move in at "literally the speed of light".  Given that Iran has managed to develop such a highly advanced form of transport - possibly teleportation - this should be a supreme cause for concern.

Word on the street is that Iranian photons are entering Iraq at the speed of light right now.

The Iranians have their own protons?  We're doomed!

(No)

If it makes you feel any better, the Iranian protons were not going the speed of light.

There's no reason to do this.

Well, there are certain justifications for war and at the time we were justified in invading due to the fact that we did fear an attack from Hussein's Iraq.

Whether or not the war overall is constitutional, or if it's still justified is debatable. However, at the start we had reason to believe that Iraq could harm us. Also, whether or not our intelligence was right in that regard is also debatable.

But there was a legit reason.

The fear of WMDs in Hussein's hands. Whether or they exist doesnt matter, it gave us a legit reason to consider action.

Big difference between obtaining those weapons and being able to use them or attack us with those weapons.

Because Iraq invaded and annexed Kuwait and showed serious signs of invading Saudi Arabia?  The first war was actually pretty reasonable, IMO.

I'd be curious to hear your case for opposing going into Iraq the first time in 1991.

Pretty reasonable compared the the 2003 war, I guess. What's funny is that Kerry voted against the Gulf War.
