I agree that everyone is entitled to his own opinion. I for one support the President. If you don't agree with me, that's fine.

I don't really believe that saying we were going into Iraq because of WMD's was a great idea. But, I do believe that without sufficient proof that Saddam destroyed what everyone know he had, it was justifiable per the umpteen hundred resolutions.

I am just frustrated by the press. Everyone has been harping on not finding any WMD's and when we find a bomb with serin gas that the insurgents were using, it's just a blerb on the news and no one mentions it. It seems like everyone is so caught up on the fact that we didn't find anything over there that even if we do, or when we did, it's like the press wants to sweep it under the rug.

I don't think that because we found a bomb that had serin gas it shows that Iraq was going to create a WMD to hit us. But, it does show that he still had the agents to create a weapon if he wanted to.

I agree that there is no need to be name calling or calling people ignorant for having their own opinion. Unless you have some information that the rest of us aren't privy to, which I'm sure that 99.9% of us aren't (Edgar being the .1% that is ), we are getting our information from the news and what we hear around work or school. It's not going to be completely accurate.

My 2 cents
