Elroy, Re: Didn't the UN weapons inspection team begin in 1991, and by 2002 still hadn't "completed their work"? Methinks the blame for that failure rests with Saddam, not George. You selective memory is stunning, bold and disingenuous. In 1998, the U.N. inspection team was removed from Iraq at the request of U.S. in order that Bill Clinton might have some target practice on Iraq's infrastructure. Subsequent to that punishment, the U.S. held the UN on a tight leash and failed to fund that organization, requiring that it adhere to the U.S. position that there be no inspection regime resumed until it was deemed politically expedient by the cynical Bushies attempting to make a mere show of complying with international laws and norms. *** Re: Well wasn't Saddam's tyrannical 20 years rule over and destruction of the once prosperous country of Iraq a greater crime? In a word, no. Every thinking person (leaving you out of this for the moment) ought to be aware by now that Saddam Hussein was first employed by the CIA as a street thug in 1959 and that Hussein's relationship with the covert side of the U.S. government has never been broken. He continued to be at the beck-and-call of the C.I.A. and a series of Administration "black ops" types over the decades. Elroy, you sound like some sort of a propaganda agent. Do you really believe the foolish and stinky manure that you are spreading here?
