		<description>Excuse me Ben, but as a student studying to be a minister, I feel my knowledge of basic Christian belief is also pretty extensive, and I agree with you that lying to justify a war is wrong. What is also wrong is false testimony without proper evidence. Because we haven&#039;t found WMD&quot;s (but we have found materials to make them) doesn&#039;t mean they weren&#039;t there. Deep down, (we are talking about Saddam Hussien) everyone and their mother know that he was a threat. He gassed millions of his own people, what do you think he&#039;d do to us. If we actually listen to what Bush said we&#039;d hear that the idea was to stop Saddam BEFORE he had the capabilities. And as a Christian, I find it appalling that other Christians would protest the liberation of fellow human beings who were being slaughtered all the time for so much as cutting a loud fart. The Democrats, instead of concentrating on issues, just attacks the Republicans any chance they can get. That is why they lose elections, and that is why we love them. Conservatives worry about Hillary? Her party is now run by ultra-liberal socialists. Visit their blogsites sometime. They hate her. She&#039;ll never get the nomination. Conservatives will lose an election here and there, but until Dems take the war on terror seriously, and stop worrying about who is offended, they&#039;ll never be trusted.</description>

		<description>Ben,

	Pardon me but what a bunch of rhetorical horse crap. All you&#039;ve done is wrapped tired old talking points in a transparent &quot;Christian&quot; wrapping and tried to serve it to us as if it&#039;s some kind of gourmet meal.  I&#039;d like to send mine back because horse crap with cream sauce is still horse crap underneath.  Since you don&#039;t seem to have a very good attention span or perhaps you just haven&#039;t taken the time to really understand Operation Iraqi freedom, I&#039;ll give you a brief explanation.  That is intelligence was primarily gathered during the Clinton administration and public commentary on it from high ranking officials of almost every political persuasion were in accord.  Saddam had WMD&#039;s and needed to be stopped.  Every major intelligence agency said so, and just about every politician worth a damn agreed.  All before the evil George Bush took office.  That is why Bill Clinton signed into law the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.library.cornell.edu/colldev/mideast/libera.htm&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Iraq Liberation Act of 1998&lt;/a&gt;.

	&lt;em&gt;&quot;Iraq Liberation Act of 1998 - Declares that it should be the policy of the United States to seek to remove the Saddam Hussein regime from power in Iraq and to replace it with a democratic government. &quot;&lt;/em&gt;
	There were no WMD&#039;s found in Iraq when we went in.  But that was only one of several reasons given for going in.  You could easily say, based on the law signed by Clinton, that we were in fact fulfilling our obligation under that act that Bill Clinton apparently didn&#039;t have the balls to do.  I suppose it&#039;s far more Christian to allow the suffering of people under a murderous dictator who has been proven to provide support and funding to terrorists throughout the middle east.  We&#039;re in a war on terror Ben, not just a war on Al Queda.   But I understand that the facts can be an inconvenience to you so I&#039;ll get back on point.

	Primarily, Saddam was in clear violation of over a dozen U.N. resolutions spanning 12 years, the last one warning of forceful entry is the reason we went to war.  Once again, our President did what others refused and took care of business.  If U.N. Resolutions are going to mean anything, they have to have to be carried out. We were lawful based on the U.N. resolutions and our own Iraqi Liberation Act.  Trying to appeal to people&#039;s Christian values this way is a low but I&#039;ve seen it before and it&#039;s just getting old.

	I truly believe that it is entirely possible that the French and Russians helped Iraq move its weapons out of the country during the pussyfooting of the U.N. leading up to our invasion.  They knew that if the U.S. went in and found french and Russian weapons there would be hell to pay back at U.N. headquarters.  I&#039;ll give you a guess of who the biggest suppliers of arms were to the Iraqis under Saddam.  &lt;em&gt;queue Jeopardy theme&lt;/em&gt;
	Did you say France and Russia?  And who were the most outspoken nations in opposition to invasion of Iraq?  If you said France and Russia you&#039;d be right!  Jay tell em what he&#039;s won!

	Your emotional plea is crap and your points dull.  Have a nice life.</description>
