We only found a handful so maybe that handful was all he made. or the ability to harm America, Not according to Vladimir Putin. I think if Bush had left Saddam in power and Putin told of the warnings Russian intel had given us, Bush would be being attacked now for not taking care of Saddam. Especially as Gore had promised regime change in Iraq if elected and the Clinton administration had cited Iraqi-AQ cooperation on WMD (see Richard Clarke on Khartoum and federal indictment of OBL). or a connection with 9/11. You mean collaboration with AQ re. 911. There was a Saddam connection with 911 - see OBL's fatwa saying America should be attacked BECAUSE of those wonderful sanctions which people are now saying made war unnecessary. His own people were close to overthrowing him. I don't know any informed source who has said this. the true mastermind of 9/11. I'm sure he's dead. He outsorced that to the Northern Alliance, who weeks earlier were killing our soldiers and Marines. Excuse me but you're very misinformed. There have never been any hostilities between Northern Alliance and the US.If Bin Ladin were killed today, his offspring support groups, whose number in the hundreds would carry on his goals to an exponential degree. By allowing Osama to live, we are now met by 20 times his power. Rumsfeld invaded Iraq because it was easy to win the war,like a bully picking on the smallest kid, while neglecting how to win the peace.
