Pro/Con Speech - Iraq War. Few Questions

Hey What's up guys?

Im doing my 2nd speech on Monday on pros and cons in The War In Iraq. The speech is suppose to be 6 minutes long and it consists of a Intro, Body and Conclusion. I'am suppose to have 2 issues and 12 sources that are relevent to the issues. This what I've got so far on my outline:

I: Intro
A. Attention Getter: Could be a Quote, a rithorical/open question, a statistic
B: Specific Purpose: To Inform
C: Proposition: I haven't came up with a good proposition yet

II:Body
A:Issue #1: Did America have the right to assume that Iraq had weapons of mass destructions, as well as have connections with Al-Qaeda?

B:Here I have to list 6 sources that show the pros and cons of this issue. So, 3 Affirmitive to the issue(#1) and 3 Opponents.

C:Issue #2:Should we pull out the troops in Iraq?

D:Same thing as above; 6 sources that show pro and cons to the issues

II:Conclusion
A: restate the body subpoints
B: close up by mentioning the attention getter or by answering its question

So yeh basically the only problem im having is finding a proper proposition, it can't be in a form of a question it can only be in a straight forward statement. And if any of you have good articles or websites that show good pro/cons, please share. I really want to do good on this speech it's worth 15% of my grade!

I don't want to be mean, but you have to find your own sources.

I suggest you search peer-reviewed journals, and newsgroups. Also, you school should have a library, use that. Mine (uni. of phoenix) has an online library with hundreds of thousands of journals, peer-reviews, etc. I'm sure yours has some kind of research aide too.

I do have plenty of sources. It's just that I want really dramatical sources, I need my speech to be on top, and there is nothing wrong with asking people for help. it's the american way
