"more US casualties now than at almost any time before."
Having trouble making sense of that, for obvious reasons, I'd say.
You CERTAINLY don't know Saddam's government had nothing to do with Al Qaeda, and plenty of reason to KNOW his folks had met with them. WMD's we know he had, remain unaccounted for...they didn't disappear, and remain a KNOWN mystery. We also know his scientists were busy.
Re: "He was taken out of power in a matter of days. He could have been driven into a bunker and kept there like a prisoner."
He wasn't captured in a matter of days...having trouble making sense of that, for obvious reasons, I'd say.
Re: "There was no need to invade Iraq especially in the rushed way we did without a plan or a real reason."
I believe we waited too long to liberate Iraq from Saddam. The reasons were obvious and believed the world over, and by both parties in America, and largely remain true. Yes, we found WMD programs. We didn't find stockpiles of WMD's, and the worlds intelligence community which believed otherwise, was surprised.
OF COURSE, we protected Iraq from the environmental disaster of blown oil rigs. Museums didn't suffer at all as much as early reports had claimed; the bulk of what reportedly went missing, didn't.
