6. No reason to jump all over it, it was known prior to the war
And we weren't waiting for him to acquire nukes, we were inspecting so that is not a valid boogeyman. War was not inevitable and it certainly did NOT need to be a unilateral decision aided solely by Britian and the handful of countries the Bush administration bought. Had the UN troops gone in if war WERE inevitable, they would be sharing the responsibility with us now and order would be more feasible with trained peace keeping troops.

Maybe you forgot the rigged Pentagon war games that caused a general ro resign in disgust since he was told to quit making it so hard for the team being trained (the blue team) to succeed in urban warfare. He apparently got into too many technicalities trying to slip up the blue team by using scooters rather than telecommunications to delver the messages to the red team on how to undermine the blue team.

All more evidence that the oil rep was made but the real war was poorly planned, the admin overreached and while I agree that Saddam SHOULD not have nukes, you and many others are simply using scare tactics since Hussein was always a plotter who valued power He certainly was no more likely t USE those nukes than anyone else who presently possesses them. Do you feel better that they ignored North Korea's actual possession in exchange for this? I don't.
