Talking to liberals is a trying experience. In a conversation I had with a friend of mine, just like here, Bush is to blame because Hussein moved the plastic explosive just before it became apparent that we were planning to invade. He ignores the fact that it would have taken at least 10 VERY obvious trucks to move this much of the stuff. Odd that all the soldiers didn't notice this. Ah yes, but he wouldn't have had to move them if we hadn't invaded in the first place.
It's very much like the WMD thing in general. We didn't find them when we got there and started nosing around, therefore they didn't exist. Nevermind that we KNOW they existed because Hussein used them on the Iranians and the Kurds. My liberal friend actually asserted to me that Hussein interfered with weapons inspections for years just to be difficult. It seems to me that the explosives went the same place the WMD's went. Well, still we shouldn't have invaded.
But, my liberal friend isn't opposed to the war for either of these reasons really. He told me he's against it because the military is disproportionatly made up of minorities, therefore the military action unfairly impacts minority communities. I couldn't bear to go on at this point...
