A case against sanctions?

Iraq was placed under sanctions.
They had no navy or airforce.
Bush claims they build WMDs to sell to terrorists (ignorning the fact that they couldn't launch it, let along carry it in a suitcase without looking suspicious)
Why would they sell it? Not because they hate us, but because they would need the money.
Aha! Sanctions do cause war.

Thanks a lot, Mr. Bush.

NBC, you're traitors

Freedom's Watch isn't about the troops, but the neoconservative agenda. Their ads are full of emotional appeals. I just saw on Fox and Friends that NBC is going to play those neocon ads.

"I lost two family members to Al Qaeda -- my uncle, a firefighter, on 9/11, and my husband, Travis, in Iraq. Congress did the right thing, voting to defeat terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. Switching their votes now, for political reasons, it will mean more attacks in America."-Iraq War Widow
I lost two family members, therefore we should stay. More attacks in America, therefore we should 'poke the hornet's nest'.
I think we ought to swallow our pride. Let them "die in vain", with neocon wars every death is a vain death! Instead of defending our dwindling honor and falling position in the world, why don't we act truly pro-life and just get out? A massacre is going to happen, but there's already one. We can't afford to stay there for 50 or more years. It's going to happen no matter how long we're there. The only difference is how many of our soldiers are going to die. The longer we're there, the worse the massacre is going to be whether it's a million dead in a year or a million dead in ten years+750,000 dead the year we leave.

"They attacked us, and they will again. They won't stop in Iraq."-Iraq War Veteran
They won't stop in Iraq, therefore, we must attack other nations we deem are aiding terrorists? Sorry for the possible straw man, but I can't think of any other way of interpreting that.
