So you have no trouble making excuses for Saddam? How typical, how long
have you been a Liberal?


I made no such excuse. It's obvious he certainly did hold weaponised stocks
of those materials in the past, but he used them almost 20 years ago. My
argument is simply that we went to war on the "evidence" of a clear and
present danger from such weaponised materials today.


You know, it's funny.

Before the war, the news outlets were complaining about not having "one
single reason" for going to war. Sure, Hussein was a dictator, and he
was working on getting nukes and other WMDs, and he had never followed
the conditions of the 1991 cease-fire, and he supported terrorism in the
Middle East, but we didn't pick "one reason" for the war.

Now, people complain that there was only "one reason" to attack, and
that wasn't enough.
