First of all, Iraq had a strong military before the United States gave Saddam any aid.

re:"Iraq was a broken nation led by a morally bankrupt dictator which saddly the US supported and allowed to become very powerful"

Second, President Bush (43) did not say that Iraq was an imminent threat. In fact he said that if the United States waited till Saddam was an imminent threat, it would be too late.

re:"The imminent need to go to war was not there."

You complain that the United States sold WMDs and weapons to Saddam, that the U.S. allowed Saddam to survive the Gulf War, that the United States stood by as he murdered thousands of Kurds and Shia (actually it was probably over a million) - then complain that there was no threat (no WMDs), and complain when the U.S. finally did remove him from power.
