The Duelfer report did say Saddam retained plans to build WMD's in the future. There are probably 20 other countries that have more WMD plans than Iraq had. If you said two or three, I might agree. Though none of those had a history of invading their neighbors. As for Congress giving Bush the vote to do this - you know that they voted based on the intelligence Bush gave them, Which is the same intel the Clinton adm had as Bill and Hillary and William Cohen have said. and his promise to do it only with Allies, as a last resort, ....He broke that promise. I don't remember any such promise. The resolution does not contain any mention of such qualifications and explicitly gave the President discretion. He did not bring in Allies. Britain, Australia, Poland, Italy, numerous other countries. No France though. We are paying most of the 200 billion in costs. We have suffered 90% of the casualties. Not like the first Gulf War. There were few casulties in the first Gulf war. We did do the overwhelming bulk of the fighting in that war. And we provided most of the troops. Now as to money, the Gulf states did contribute costs generously then. So we don't have Saudi Arabia this time. Oh well.
