<not only people but also governments such as did France, Russia, Germany, the UN, yet you still say WMD was all "Sadaam bogeyman"?> Add me to the list, I thought Iraq had WMDs, too. Saddam did serve as a bogeyman, it was easy for all of us to point our fingers at him while Saudi Arabians planned their attack on the US. But I think the existence or non-existence is irrelevent, except for political reasons. I don't think the decision to go to war was influenced in any way by WMDs. To the contrary, I think that the decision was based in large part on the weakness of Saddam's military. If you, as President, decided that it was essential for the US to have large, secure, permanent military bases in the middle east, how would you go about accomplishing it?
