>> It wasn't all about WMDs....I wish that had not been such a singular focus.....but no doubt about it the world is better without Saddam.

It need not have been, and it wouldn't have been had Tenent not proclaimed it a "slam dunk."

Based on that statement, it seemed logical -- it was obviously the most compelling reason and one any American could understand.

There were plenty of justifications for taking Saddam out; but they made the mistake of committing themselves to the most obvious one.

Had Bill Clinton done the right thing and taken Saddam out, the Left would never have complained a bit.
