Iraq had nothing to do with the WOT... Only head-in-the-sand ignoramuses would think such a thing. As a Bathist, Saddam and Assad were sharing many things, including WMDs, which were found by the way. As Muslims, they were in solidarity regarding the destruction of Israel, as his scud missile targets confirmed. I'm sure there are many more unclassified things that confirm the Iraqi regime's complicity on spreading terrorism.

So if Saddam was not part of the war on terror, why did he continually target our ally Israel?

I'm guessing that you are consistent in claiming that Iran has nothing to do with the WOT as well?

[RC one]

I am consistent with the opinion that Iran was our enemy all along and the war in Iraq contributed heavily to their current good fortunes. I knew it would end up with a stronger nuclear powered Iran which would be a far greater threat to Israel than Iraq ever was. I was never for it. I remain opposed to it. I believe it was a giant mistake and my opinion is shared by about 70% of Americans as evidenced by a recent opinion poll on the subject.
