>> Except for the fact that you are completely wrong on practically everything you said, the following should settle the specious lefty memes that Saddam's removal was ONLY about "stockpiles of WMD's", that Saddam wasn't a threat ("boxed in") & the thoroughly discredited "Bush lied" meme..... It seems that the New York Times has now authenticated a number of documents seized shortly after Saddam was removed from power. In their zeal to start another October surprise to harm Republicans, the NYT accidently exposed the REAL threat Saddam was. Among other things, they noted Iraq submitted documents to the UN Inspectors in 2002. The NYT said: Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away.<< Sully - Except for the fact that the document in question refers to Hussein's nuclear program before the Persian Gulf War in 1991, you might have something there. That program that had been thoroughly dismantled long before our invasion, according to the U.N. inspectors and the IAEA. No evidence of the massive amounts of equipment required for a working nuclear weapons program has been found since our invasion, either. BTW, I didn't say that the only reason Bush gave for the war was WMDs. I just said it was the primary one, and that without it we would never have had a vote in Congress on the issue. - Allen
