by the one billion dollar, 15-month investigation by the Iraq Survey
Group - which concluded that Hussein had dismantled all of his WMD
programmes shortly after the 1991 Gulf War and never tried to
reconstitute them. "
It states in several of the Key Findings that "maintaining WMD was a national strategic goal." But that is really beside the point. The UN gave him an ultimatum. He was given plenty of time to comply. He didn't. The US carried out the ultimatum and the world is better off for it. |
the world is better off w/o saddam, but now we have to prop the entire country otherwise it will die. hell, we shouldnt even be there now. the point is, there are no wmds and there is no tie between 9/11 and Saddam Hussein. why are we in iraq when we should be looking for Osama Bin Laden. He failed to capture or kill Osama Bin Laden or Mullah Omar and the Taliban. I havent heard any stories coming form Afghanistan or anything muchh related to teh real war on terror ever since the allies captured Saddam. instead, we have another war to fight that takes our attention away from the main goal. this whole campaign turned into a goddamned circus and we need new leadership to focus the nations attention back to Afghanistan because Bush is obviously not looking for Osama Bin Laden.
