So what was the threat to the US from Saddam Hussein's Iraq in 2003????
Did he have ties to Al Queda????

Nope

Did he have nucular weapons or a nuclear weapons program????

Nope

Did he have a chemical or biological weapons program???

Nope

Did he have ballistic missiles capable of striking the US or Israel???

Nope

Did he have an air force capable of striking the US or Israel????

Nope - coalition aircraft overflew most of Iraq with impunity on a daily basis (Operation Northern and Southern Watch).

Did he have "Drones of Death" that could "targit 'Merica"?????

Nope

Was he a threat to the Kurds in northern Iraq???

Nope - Operation Northern Watch and the CIA took care of that.

Did he have an army capable of threatening the US or his neighbors???

Nope - his "army" was completely ineffectual against invading US forces.

Did he have a navy capable of threatening the US or Gulf tanker traffic???

1. Nothing.
Mohammed Sheikh Khalid confessed, and confessed, and confessed. Didn't even want to share the spotlight with the late Saddam Hussein and anyone in Iraq.

So, guess this country illegally invaded and destroyed another sovereign nation without true provocation and knowledge aforehand of having no valid purpose to do so.

2. There was no threat to the US
Edited on Mon Mar-19-07 11:56 AM by SOS
As per Greg Thielmann from the State Dept. in 2002.
He was in charge of assesing Iraq's "threat" to the US and he concluded that there was none.
Of course he wasn't allowed on TV back then.

On edit:

3. No threat, well to the energy market, but not to us.
Evidently, it turns out the BFEE started this war to keep gas prices from GOING DOWN!

I would consider this a crime of blibitical proportionism!
