Re: "There is no evidence that Saddam was becoming more threatening over the last decade, even after the inspectors pulled out last time."
Sorry, but there IS evidence that he became more threatening over the last decade. The inspectors found MUCH he'd been working on, denying and hiding, before they were kicked out. I would have thought this sort of thing was part of the reason you agree he is a bad guy. Guess not.
Re: "You assume the premise that Saddam was on the verge of some terrible act and that contridicts the evidence."
I happen to consider the evidence that he is actively hiding things during THIS round of inspections as evidence that he poses a threat. How could you not? What, you can't put two and two together?
You have NOT(as you fabricate) found me saying SadDam was or is on the very VERGE of anything. If you think my real concern that he is contradicts the evidence, I have to ask, what evidence? The evidence I see clearly shows the man is working hard to hide offensive weapons of many kinds, big and small. There is no contradiction with the evidence, despite your words. What's more, he's shooting at us on a daily basis, and you and I both know we would have been bombing nothing on a daily basis recently, were he not showing his disregard for OUR servicemen by doing so.
Support our troops as they seek to disarm this man who is actively trying to kill our men aboard our peaceful flights into the no-fly zones.
