Wrong... he was a broken down dictator with zero power. Fully contained. Except that on repeated occasions we had had to move significant military assets into the region to force him to complyy with inspections after he thumbed his nose at us and the UN (which had the additional consequence of emboldening terrorists against us as they perceived it as weakness on our part). Except that we were having to maintain no-fly zones - apparently, into perpetuity, to "contain" him. I find it laughable that those on the Left believe that "torture" of three guys was a recruiting tool for AQ but maintaining the no-fly zone out of the ME wasn't. Anyone who has studied the subject, even a little, knows that the flow of recruits to AQ was due in large part to the American military presence in the region. Except that he was continuing to kill his own people indiscriminately, that he was encouraging terrorism against Israel with cash payments, and that his behavior was totally suggestive of continued WMD development, and that all the intelligence available strongly suggested he was continuing his weapons development. Right. He was "contained". What a stupid remark.
