“Sadaam had nothing to do with ordering 911, and a great deal to do with it happening.”

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.

Interesting article...that has a few interesting tidbits, but is mostly about implications of information that the author doesn’t have access to. Also irrelevant to my comments on Iraq, as it implies broader, not narrower, issues.
“So should the US be open for attack because we are one of the major holders of weapons of mass destruction?”
Moving the bars a bit? Completely different argument as to whether they had them, and had shown the will to use them.
“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?”
You may notice that we are still engaged with N.Korea. ..and it is an entirely different nut. That said, Iraq lost a war, and as part of its ceasefire agreement, was required to declare amounts and locations of all of certain categories of materials ( for some we found new post-GWI production), and present them for destruction. Every few months he was documentably shown to have violated these terms by hiding various very large amounts of his weapons and weapons programs.
“And who set “official U.S. policy” for getting rid of Saddam.”
Congress, signed by the PRE-GWBUSH President. Really, you need too much basic history for this conversation.
“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.”
The singular one who made an about-face at the time that it came out that Iraq had pictures of an inspector caught in pedophilia, and was blackmailing him? And who never would reconcile completely contradictory statements, or when directly asked denounce or retract his previous statements that Iraq was continuing to hide WMDs, or even offer an explanation for the quantitative discrepancy between what he’d previously documented was there - along with multinational groups of witnesses - and what had been destroyed?
