<<Please define how Iraq constituted a terrorist threat.>> You, perhaps, have never owned a TV and can't read a newspaper, and thus MISSED 91101. You win today's Patsy McKee Award for sheer stupidity on the Internet...

>>>Iraq constituted a terrorist threat.<<< Please define how Iraq constituted a terrorist threat. Who told you that? Why, Arianna Huffington did, of course - over a year ago. ;-) "The second [ad], which opens on a man at a gas station, features a cute kid's voice-over throughout: "This is George." Then we see a close-up of a gas pump. "This is the gas George buys for his car." Next we see a guy in a suit. "This is the oil company executive who makes money on the gas George buys." Close-up on al-Qaida training film footage: "This is the terrorist organization supported by money from the country where the oil company does business." It's followed by footage of 9/11: "We all know what this is." And it closes on a wide shot of bumper-to-bumper traffic: "The biggest weapon of mass destruction is parked in your driveway." Pretty effective. "Can the administration seriously deny that oil dollars do, actually, finance a spreading slick of evil in the world today? In Iraq, oil money has kept Saddam's repressive regime afloat even in the midst of tough U.N. sanctions. According to a report just released by the CIA, Saddam has been spending his oil money on conventional arms and weapons of mass destruction, while starving and torturing his own people." salon.com

Yes SIR! Re: "Who told you that?" LOL....I looked at the evidence and decided for myself. Or maybe this gal who "served as an adviser on Iraq to the 1992 Clinton presidential campaign" told me, LOL...no, I decided for myself, as I do. "Bin Laden and Hussein work together. The contact between the two was made in the 1990s when bin Laden was based in Sudan. Iraq intelligence also had a major presence in Sudan then. There were other widely reported contacts between bin Laden and Iraq intelligence, such as in December, 1998 when Farook Hajazi traveled to Afghanistan to meet with bin Laden. Hajazi is a senior intelligence officer. Bin Laden provides the ideology, he recruits the foot soldiers, and he provides a smokescreen. Iraqi intelligence provides the direction and training for the terrorism." cnn.com Dan B.
