US did find Iraq WMD

Obviously, having the world perceive 'we won' a war after starting it unilaterally and based on flawed intelligence is much more important than any deficits... that's until blue team is at the helm.

Then deficits matter and we shouldn't even be assisting NATO allies to comply with UN resolutions...

But, but, you all believe what the media tells you to believe

Wild Chodebrah is a classic example of a dumb Republican who didn't give two s about the national deficit from 2001-2008 then once Obama took office and picked up where Bush left off, the national deficit all the sudden became a giant issue.

Why do you support Libya and not Iraq?

Are you saying Saddam treated Iraqis better than Qaddafi treated Libyans? I think not.

I don't like the price tag either. But once we started, I don't think it proper to run away with tails tucked. Is that what you do? Maybe you would have approved of another Viet Nam.

Libya had a much more limited mandate, and did not require trillions of dollars to fix/occupy.

Saddam v. Qadaffi

Qadaffi's intelligence services ACTIVELY participated in terrorism, in case the people that died over Lockerbie and the other bombings escaped you. Since I can only presume you know about this, I can only guess you are against terrorism when the guy in the white house is a Republican? You used the rather thin saw that one of Saddams low ranking intel guy met once with a low ranking Al Qaeda member as part of your arguments for invading Iraq, btw.

I didn't want to go into Iraq because it was patently obvious that the Bush administration had no idea what to do afterwards. That and the fact that any post-war Iraq was going to be a playground for Iran.

The ing soup sandwich that was 2003-2006 occupation was something I could see coming a mile away, and it was frustrating as to see partisan asshats like Yonivore and yourself blind to that, no matter how clearly and logically it was explained.

Bottom line is that the only real reason you supported Iraq and not Libya appears to be the political party of the President in office at the time.
