Hardly.

1. WMDs were found, people just don't want to admit it- Chem warheads, so far.

The inspectors were finding violations ( long range rockets, prohibited technology) right up to the end.


If you threaten someone, and they yell "Stop, or I will shoot", and you continue in the threatening manner, I do not see any reason that you can be surprised that they blow you away.



And yes, we SHOULD have gone in after him in 1991. Bush 1 made a bad decision, probably due to the horror expressed by all of you at the pictures of the destruction of the Iraqi Army.

It really seems odd that NONE of you have commented on how a country which under an cease fire agreement was prohibited from building weapons, and under sanctions to prevent the purchase of weapons ( BUT which allowed for the sale of oil for the purchase of food) had as much military when the US attacked as they did. And had starved its citizens.

So, I have to presume that if some undeniable WMD can be traced to Saddam, such as a nuke going off in London or Athens, all of you will admit you were wrong, and apologize? Thanks a lot.
