"Iraq's status as a regional military threat ended in 1991."

So the us forces taht invaded in 2003 met no resistance?


" They never had a status as more than a regional military threat, "

Agreed, only because they did not have transportation to be global.


"and were certainly no threat to the USA at any time whatsoever. "

IF there were WMD, as were discovered by both the UN inspectors and the US troops, this is blatently false. Anyone who can gas 100,000 + of his own people is a credible threat to the US.

You did say any time whatsoever.
