You obviously have little knowledge of what the inspection process revealed or how Saddam circumvented it for more than 12 years. You obviously have little knowledge of how Saddam used the Oil-for-Food scandal to violate the Cease Fire Agreement, bribe your favorite liberal politicians in the UN, France, Russia, China (all on the UN Security Council with veto powers), Germany & elsewhere to assure Saddam could violate UN sanctions & the Cease Fire Agreement with impunity; eventually have the inspections ended & sanctions removed (so he could reconstitute his WMD arsenal, vastly improve his offensive his military capabilities, resume his quest to dominate the entire ME & use his ties to terrorist groups to exact revenge on his & the terrorists enemy, the US). You obviously have little knowledge of the Iraq Survey Group's report or the testimony of David Kay & Charles Duelfur. You obviously have little knowledge of the results of the Senate Intelligence Committee Report. You obviously have little knowledge of the findings from the 9/11 Commission Report. Had you any knowledge of them you would have known that Saddam actively thwarted the inspections. You would have known Saddam continued his massive crimes against humanity until he was removed from power (and in violation of UN Resolution #687). You would have known about Saddam's ties to multiple terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda, as well as his plans to carry out acts of terrorism against the US & US interests. You would have known that he harbored, financed, trained & supported multiple terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda. You would have known that Saddam never gave up his plans to vastly improve his WMD programs & never fully destroy the programs he already had. (ET AL). You would have known how Saddam used the Oil-for-Food money to make illegal weapons purchases from many of the same countries he was bribing, made improvements to his WMD programs, built multiple palaces, while his people lived in squalor (which he used as a propaganda tool that you & your liberal heroes bought lock, stock & barrel). Either that or you are willfully ignorant, &/or have been brainwashed by liberal propaganda. And BTW, your comment about Podhoretz making a great Nazi; I fail to see any logical or reasonable connection whatsoever between what Podhoretz said & your lame explanation as to how he would make a great Nazi. Just because you say so doesn't make it so.
