Bottom line, Iraq has been contained for 11 years.

Bottom line, we haven't been able to wipe out Saddam's WMD program in 11 years of trying.

Like the USSR, containment has worked.

Trying to just contain the USSR was dangerous but it was our only alternative. If we could have taken out the USSR as easily as we could take out Saddam now then it would have been a good thing for us to have done so. But of course it wasn't an option with the USSR.

Unlike Korea, Iraq isn't in possession of a functional nuclear program.

Iraq does have a functional nuclear program. What they don't have is a functional nuclear weapon. Thats the time to attack, if they have effective nuclear weapons that would be one reason NOT to attack. The time to attack is before they get the weapons.

A poll that asks the simple question:"Do you completely trust what the administration says?" would be interesting. I'd be surprised if it was 30%.

I don't completly trust what any administration says but I don't see that as relevant. The evidence of the existance of Iraq's WMD program is massive and exited before the current administration (and also before the previous one)
