Lousy rationalizations by you. I think there can no question...

NO Question...

That Saddam Hussein wishes to keep these weapons at all costs. What will further inspections do? What if =one= of the mobile labs is uncovered? At what point do you say, well, we need military force? Is it always a receding point, never to be attained?

Look, Saddam Hussein is a murderous guy, and has these weapons he is actively pursuing.... for years!!! Read "The Threatening Storm" (2002) by K. Pollack. If SH had been running a country like the USA, with proportionately more people, we would have two and one half MILLION people dead, by political murder. 2 1/2 MILLION! MURDERED! This guy is in a class by himself. Why do people always try to balance his offenses against United States intrigues. It is ABSURDLY out of scale.
Can you even =fabricate= a scenario, with a hypothetical dictator, where you would say, "We have to use force."?? Absent such a threshhold, your comments are worthless.
