>>>>> Saddam was no threat, and Bush didn't want El Baradei to prove it.

Saddam may not have been a threat. But he was a damned big problem.

On multiple occasions he had refused weapons inspectors the access they were guaranteed under the terms of the Gulf War ceasefire agreement. He had bee chronically uncooperative during this time. There were vast stockpiles of WMD that were unaccounted for -- an accounting which was required by the mandate. He had, on multiple occasions, brought us to the brink of war only to back down at the last minute. And they were still shooting at our planes in defiance of the terms of the ceasefire agreement.

We should have gone to war with them right after the Gulf War was over as soon as we realized he was going to be a problem. But Clinton did not have the stomach for it and didn't understand why it should not be tolerated.

His constant taunting of the United States emboldened terrorists all over the world. He had to be taken out. You're too fucking stupid to know it though.
