But there are at least two other countries that are more of a threat than Iraq was......and the controversy is whether or not Iraq really was the threat represented by the Bushies....much evidence and testimony says no.... A pre-emptive strike just to throw out a despot is not justified....especially since the Bush propaganda machine did so much to convince the public that Saddam was connected to 9/11 and that he was an imminent threat to the US. We wouldn't give Blix even two more weeks because the danger was so great.... What weaponry concerned you? I'm sure you thought Saddam had it because of the PR spin of Bush....don't you feel deceived now that you know Bush has evidence to the contrary and that he used forged documents to make his case?

I read somewhere that as far as chemical/biological weapons go that what Iraq (alledgedly) produced was very low quality. Like anthrax. Their's had a very short shelf life of a few weeks compared to made in the USA weapons grade anthrax that has a shelf life of 3 years. That's the type of anthrax that was sent in the mail. The Aimes strain made in the USA. What's that doing in the mail? Now they are trying to blame it all on a loose cannon, right. Just more disinformation. Too many unanswered questions surrounding the workings of Washington for the last....oh, let's say 90 years or more? We don't really have a clue what they're up to. Of course, Saddam will not be missed my many. No great loss there. And look what we've gained. Control of the country and it's oil fields. The USA kept that oil bottled up for over a decade and now it's taken possession of it. It's all about oil and money and power. You are right when you say there were many reasons to invade Iraq. A few of them were even fit to be told to the public. Whether those reasons were true or not though remains to be seen.
