It would produce the one set of conditions in which Saddam Hussein, faced with the certain death and the destruction of his country, would have the greatest incentive to strike back with any means at his disposal, including the arming of al Qaeda.

That's a good point -- if you think he hasn't done this already. If the argument is, that Saddam has the stuff and the Al Qaeda connections all ready, he just won't give it over until the last extremity, it doesn't sound like a stable or acceptable situation that's being overturned. btw, the US doesn't intend to destroy Iraq, Saddam doesn't care about the destruction of Iraq.
