>>It is (and really was at the time) quite clear that Iraq was not a major player where global terrorism was concerned.

No it isn't and wasn't.

They weren't the biggest player, they where no Iran but they had more than just a minor involvement with terrorism.<<

Tim -

Maybe it isn't and wasn't clear to you. Just to the CiA, the intelligence agencies of the rest of the civilized world, and anybody who has paid attention to news in the past few years and even just the past few weeks. Saddam had a fundamental distrust of terrorist groups.

But even if I were to grant your statement, and accept that "they were no Iran but they had more than just a minor involvement with terrorism", why, then, didn't we invade Iran instead? Why put all our forces on the ground in Iraq when there were bigger fish to fry in the same neighborhood?
