re: #195 albusteve

are you saying that Hussein stopped killing his own people at the threat of invasion?…he would still be killing them if he were alive…”continued genocide” didn’t agree with you and that’s fine with me, all your cut and paste is wasted on me tho…the guy was a super maniac, totally demented and you have not posted any alternative to invasion, even tho the entire world thought he was pursuing WMDs…I’m sure there are, but you’d rather split hairs than cop to the fundamentals here

Every “super maniac” despot tries to pursue WMD’s. We shouldn’t be acting on that. We should be acting on their ability to get them. We had inspectors on the ground. I know the IAEA didn’t tell you what you wanted to here so you dismissed them. Why did we have to work so hard to sell the WMD angle if everyone already agreed?
