What national security threat does Iraq pose to the United States?
Handoff of WMD to Al Qaeda and other Jihadists. Gets to call the shots in the Middle East unless we take him out. Saddam is the weakest link amongst our Islamic enemies so we get rid of him first.
Why can't we – with a united world behind us – disarm Iraq without war?
Saddam only disarms when we have 200,000 troops in the desert. And we aren't going to keep 200,000 troops in the desert for years on end while Saddam dances around with Blix, Annan and the UN. Screw that!!
