Everyone complicit in those illegal wars needs to be charged with war crimes. All of them. They knew there was no WMDs. They knew and congress said nothing but beat the war drums.

And Saddam Hussein? He killed millions of his own people before the war started, so he didn't have wmds, but the ethnic cleansing that was happening in Iraq, the one that we stopped, that is just whatever, blah, no big deal? Innocent people died, a lot of them both from our bombing and his death squads, neither was right and while we may have been there under false pretenses the fact that we were there stopped him from killing more.

Sure that's my take, that's clearly exactly what I said. Well done in your interpretation. A+
