That aside, the main purpose of the war in iraq, which is entirely seperate, mind you, was that they were supposedly harboring WMD. We go there and find no WMD, but capture saddam. If that was the intent from the begining, why did our President not position that to us?

He did,
WMD's are what the media decided to focus on resulting in tons of people thinking that was THE only reason. Just because we didn't find Wmd's YET doesn't mean they're not there.. Saddam had plenty of time to pass them over to Syria or where ever... It is common knowledge that he had them and used them in the past.. The point is Saddam posed the biggest threat to the world.. He would, could, and probably did put them into the hands of radicals.
Saddam needed to be eliminated as the financial source of Palestinian homicide bombers, and Al Qaeda operations . He paid 25 grand to the family of anyone who would strap a bomb to themselves.
Iraq was home to Ansar Al- Islam another terrorist group. He used WMD's on thousands of Kurds and slaughtered 200,000 Iraqis. He attacked Iran with WMD's.
Iraq deserved to be liberated, they've been waiting for a long time for help from the west...
The reason the war happened when it did is because of September 11th. It was an eye opener to say the least. The biggest threat to the world in this new day of Terror on US soil was Saddam and everyone knew it.
The UN bullshit was all for France, Russia, and Germany to cover their asses because there was a paper trail leading to each one of them.
43 Countries were for using force if Saddam did not comply which he didn't. This was based on the international laws he had continued to break. That had nothing to do with WMD's....
Fuck the UN , that's like asking all of your neighbors to vote on whether or not you should lock your doors at night. We don't need anyone's permission to protect ourselves. Iraq was a good place to start.
