Instead of Iran.
I even predicted the outcome so many of us now lament. Hell, even that dumbass Joe Biden predicted it.
Why didn't you?
Every major demoncrat stood up on the floor to speak in favor of going to war to remove Saddam from power. And all based on the same exact intel Bush had available to him. That is, all except Barack Hussein Obama, who loves to boast that he opposed the war from the beginning. ie, even though everyone else at the time was convinced Saddam had WMDs and would use them on us or our allies. Hussein, apparently just didn't care.
"Romanian intelligence defector Ion Mihai Pacepa alleged that an operation for the removal of chemical weapons was prepared by the Soviet Union for Libya, and that he was told over thirty years ago by Romanian President Nicolae Ceausescu, KGB chairman Yury Andropov, and later, Yevgeny Primakov, about the existence of a similar plan for Iraq.
It is 'perfectly obvious', wrote Pacepa, that the Russian GRU agency helped Saddam Hussein to destroy, hide, or transfer his chemical weapons prior to the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. 'After all, Russia helped Saddam get his hands on them in the first place.'[13]
John Loftus, director of The Intelligence Summit, said in the November 16, 2007 issue of FrontPage Magazine that many documents from Iraq point to WMD being transferred to other countries such as Syria: 'As stated in more detail in my full report, the British, Ukrainian and American secret services all believed that the Russians had organized a last minute evacuation of CW [chemical] and BW [biological] stockpiles from Baghdad to Syria.'
His researchers allegedly found a document ordering the concealment of nuclear weapons equipment in storage facilities under the Euphrates River a few weeks before the invasion.[14]"
