Answer the following questions:
1) What was Hussein hiding, then, if it wasn't WMD?
2) Where did the tons of nerve agents disappear to that went missing and unaccounted for after the Gulf War?
Also list the number of countries that supported the US action; Germany, Russia and France DON'T make up a majority in terms of international support, no matter how inflated their egos are.
You go on to state that we ultimately would have invaded Iraq at some point in the future; why, if not for the precise reasons we went into Iraq in the first place?
Did Quasay Hussein bareface lie to a Jordanian diplomat when he told him that equipment and agents were buried where nobody would ever find them?
What about reports from Hussien's own kin that fled Iraq and tattled to the CIA on his nuclear and WMD programs (who, by the way were stupid enough to head back into Iraq and ended up executed)?
Given the clandestine nature of Hussein's programs during the time that he had the UN hounding his every move, the Israelis would have had NO clue on where to drop ordinance. Only a blithering idiot would try to assume that the situations were the same as they were in 1981...
You can't compare N. Korea to Iraq. Period. The politics and dynamics are totally different. How? One word: CHINA.
The Al-Quaeda links were very shaky, at best and total BS at worst, I will give you that. Iraq's ties to terrorism aren't. Any number of Syrian and Eqyptian terrorists have made their way into Baghdad; a notable one just died in US custody, I seem to recall.
The UN found it convincing enough to run weapons inspections for a decade in Iraq; ALL the members of the UN, I might add.
It's now very obvious Iraq didn't represent an immediate WMD or nuclear threat. Am I to understand that we shouldn't have gone in until we were 100% positive that our troops were to be gassed and nuked? If so, I now have a new definition of stupidity to refer to...
