Anyone who doesn't think that Saddam was a threat to the US is a fool. The US and Iraq were in a state of warfare, with our planes flying over North and South Iraq, and Saddam's military trying to shoot down our planes.

Saddam had already shown that he will not hesitate to invade another nation, and had already invaded two nations. Are you both blind and dumb that you cannot recognize Saddam's warlike intentions?

Saddam had developed chemical and biological weapons for decades! Would it have been wise to wait until this madman finally was able to use them against us?

Experts: Iraq has tons of chemical weapons

"Iraq continues to possess several tons of chemical weapons agents, enough to kill thousands and thousands of civilians or soldiers," said Jon Wolfsthal, an analyst with the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

U.N. weapons experts have said Iraq may have stockpiled more than 600 metric tons of chemical agents, including mustard gas, VX and sarin. Some 25,000 rockets and 15,000 artillery shells with chemical agents are also unaccounted for, the experts said.
