Bush took a calculated risk that Clinton's information on Saddam was accurate and that the world's intelligence agencies were correct. It's pretty obvious that Saddam had tinkered with small amounts of chem and bio weapons, but no program per se. The extent of his threat was a miscalculation to be sure. But would you have wanted to be the President who ignored intelligence and let an attack happen? I doubt it. But monday morning quarterbacking is easy, isn't it?

Those who forget history.......... Remember 9/11? President Bush Outlines Iraqi Threat ...Some have argued that confronting the threat from Iraq could detract from the war against terror. To the contrary; confronting the threat posed by Iraq is crucial to winning the war on terror. When I spoke to Congress more than a year ago, I said that those who harbor terrorists are as guilty as the terrorists themselves. Saddam Hussein is harboring terrorists and the instruments of terror, the instruments of mass death and destruction. And he cannot be trusted. The risk is simply too great that he will use them, or provide them to a terror network..... whitehouse.gov
