<<There had to be a lot of deciding factors for invasion sooner rather than later, but I can't believe this wasn't one of them.>>> There is more than meets the eye, or will ever be divulged, about the true reasons for such an action as invading Iraq. I believe it was a combination of things known to the CIA and others, secret sales of oil, offshore bank accounts, food-for-oil not working , European arms sales to Iraq ( where did he get all that stuff?), Al Qaeda connections. And his known want for nukes. Information obtained from his fellow ME Nations perhaps, who could not have liked what they saw happening. Now we find why Saddam was so poor at war- he was a banker, not a soldier. With that kind of money, concentrated in the family, must truly have figured he would be King of Araby and to do that would also have needed the nukes. If left alone, or even with Inspections aboveground, would someday have had them. story.news.yahoo.com Sig
