    Excuse me but this is utterly full of holes. We had no real
    evidence of any "weapons program" when we started this little
    charade. We have no real evidence now. Those troops are an act
    of intimidation and mounting threat that no sane peoples should
    allow without real and just cause. We have none. Bring these
    people home and stop being the dead horse that is Iraq. It just
    makes us look stupid and quite evil.
