It's about keeping Saddam from getting nukes, pure and simple. It all flows from that premise, the rest is window-dressing. And it is a very good justification, though a bit complex for J6P to fully understand. Perhaps the Bushies think the public won't buy the need to act now to deter two or three horrible scenarios in the future. Yes, I think you are correct. Even the 'clean up the swamp' strategy for the whole ME requires Saddam not to have nukes. If Saddam has nukes the US has very few options in that area, including the ability to contain Israel's reaction. Paul
