You forgot to tell her that Duelfer thinks he is some kind of psychic and knows what Saddam would do without any evidence and against all statements from the principals. When it comes to facts in the report, they all state that Saddam destroyed prohibited weapons and was largely in compliance. TP

"wanted to" "intentions" yeah read that I think I mentioned that kind of thing already- over and over. But still, you find Saddam's dreams compelling, I do not- and I especially do not find them a justification for a waste of resources in Iraq, when we should have had our eye on Al Qaeda, who pose more than a maybe, might be, could do, kind of threat. But that's me- I tend to be practical. And you think "wanted to" and "intentions", with no concrete programs, justifies an invasion of a country, and it's occupation, regime change, and the deaths of 1000's of civilians, as well as over 1000 of our soldiers, and the wounding of over 8000? hmmmm sorry I don't find it compelling- thought maybe you had found something compelling that I missed, but no, you haven't. People WILL disagree on such things. There are countries out there who actually are(rather than having "intentions") developing nukes - I wonder why they weren't important enough to invade? I don't find "intentions" a justification for "preemptive" war. I suspect most of the world, and a good portion of Americans (had they gotten access to real facts, and informed themselves) agree with me.
