* George Bush saved lives in Iraq:
1. Net # (including enemy) less than would have died under Saddam. 2. Gross # killed (including enemy) less than people murdered in S. Africa.
3. Gross # killed (including enemy) is 20% of half-million children who died due to sanctions under Clinton, as Madeliene Albright infamously admitted.

* And lots of WMD were found after all: “WikiLeaks Show WMD Hunt Continued in Iraq – With Surprising Results”
http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2010/10/wikileaks-show-wmd-hunt-continue d-in-iraq-with-surprising-results/
To be clear:
1. These aren’t the caches of wmd people thought existed, but they do disprove there were “no WMD in Iraq”. And you can’t store caches of chem wmd anyway, because they degrade rapidly – they must be stored as precursors, of which tons of caches were found. And all evidence gathered post-war shows that Saddam would have become a wmd threat – that he would have restarted programs in the near future, so it’s really here nor there whether he actually had caches of the stuff. So if you thought Saddam was a future wmd threat, you were correct.
2. None of this “proves” we should have invaded Iraq, especially if the reason not to is isolationist, for lack of a better word.
