“Saddam had nothing to do with 911”
Sadaam had nothing to do with ordering 911, and a great deal to do with it happening.
As for Iraq not having WMDS, your comments are not simply wrong, but dumbassery writ large (and I do not use such terms lightly). Iraq had them; iraq declared them (and was repeatedly found to have done so incompletely); we - and representatives from a multitude of other countries - inventoried them, sampled them, and destroyed a *portion* of them. The only question and realistic debate is over what happened to the portion that was not yet destroyed when Hussein kicked inspectors and destruction personnel out of the country.
As for it being just “Bush’s panties in a wad” over a hit being put out on his dad, that is another layer of dumbassery. It became the official policy of the U.S. to remove Hussein from power all the way back in 1998.
We were being hit every year in a major way by Al Queda, who included in their inspiration that despite Husseins clear violation of pretty much every part of his 1990 cease-fire agreement, that we lacked the will to deal with him...and likewise even if we did respond to Al Quedas attacks we wouldn’t have the will to see it through.
Reasonable people may differ on how to deal with the issues, especially with hindsight...but to deny the Iraq possession of WMDs, or your retroactive “panties in a wad” explanation are totally ignorant.

Funny I never thought Saddam was in Saudi Arabia and oh ya:

So should the US be open for attack because we are one of the major holders of weapons of mass destruction? Look at any nation and I can guarantee that they have a few chemical/biological/and in a few cases nuclear weapons. Why have we not gone after N. Korea then? And who set “official U.S. policy” for getting rid of Saddam. The layer of dumbassery in your circular reasoning is simply amazing and lacks any basis of fact for why we went after him and his country. Even on of the American UN inspectors said he didn’t have any left and that all we were doing was harassing him in those final few years before the war.
