Well , this is the US d a tapeopleperyearnamedBarry , but it tend to show that getting rid of the Barrys would be a blow to brexit . <| sep |> Oh shit ! Mind blown ! <| sep |> No only the entire internet has mentioned it <| sep |> We are having a problem with overpopulation so why not ? <| sep |> Leonard Cohen RIP <| sep |> They were lied to about WMDs . The degree to which they understood they were being lied to has always been in question . Most agree , even at the time , the evidence that Iraq was pursing WMDs was speculative , not concrete . They made a judgement call based on the information they had . I don ' t bear a grudge because they made a judgement call , I bear it because they made the wrong call . which by any measure should mean that their future judgement and opinions on use of armed force should be called into question . If Iraq was seeking WMDs , would you prefer not to invade the country ? Again , the intelligence being used was speculative . Had more time been provided for UN Weapons Inspectors to do their job , and a greater emphasis been placed on diplomacy then perhaps we would have ended the situation similarly to how the Iran Nuclear Deal went down . Instead , post 911 politicians allowed themselves to be pushed into acting rather than appear as though they were weak and failing to protect America . Because the only way that story ends is with Israel doing something nobody wants . You don ' t know that . Israel has been saberrattling for the better part of 30 years and almost never acted in a unilateral way militarily speaking . While we ' re in the business of speculating I would argue that without the support of the US , the UN , or NATO they would have been noisy , but remained actionless based on their prior history .
