Ten,
re: We're going on a big tangent here, so let me say this and end this branch of the thread: None of those were reasons why Clinton attacked Iraq in 1998. He attacked because of WMD. That was the focus of the "deterrence," but even Clinton admits that when he left office, Saddam still had WMD.
Oh never mind. It's not worth the effort. SH was the villain of the world, responsible for 9/11, an immediate threat to Omaha, Nebraska. That's why we sent in 300,000 +/-troops, did the "shock and awe" dance (forgot that term, didn't we?), killing 1000's of civilians, but impressing the hell out of CNN viewers. That's why we are spending $4B per month, selling treasury bonds, to find old SH's WMD's, a dire threat to Muncie, Indiana.
Long live Sir George!
