Gassing the Kurds and waging war against his neighbors was and is a direct threat to the U.S and the rest of the world just by destablizing the entire region and its oil markets. Sure, I'll admit it, alot has do do with oil. WE DEPEND ON IT, unfortunetly,(thats another debate in itself). War starts, oil stops, refugees gather, war continues, governments turn more radical etc. Just because no wmd's haven't been found doesn't mean they never existed. If You don't catch a keeper one night does this mean there are no fish out there? I still hold hope that they will be found one day but I don't loose sleep over it . Sadaam allowed Al Qaida to harbour themselves in his country, although he may not have had a direct link to them. I'm sure that there are prisoners in cuba that would attest to that. As for mobile weapons labs, I don't see any great importance in that. Hell, just fill up a backback with crap and you have a mobile weapons lab. Every administration has an agenda, thats how they operate. I'm sure the administration had a plan to rid of Sadaam long before 9/11 and rightfully so. Senior should of seen to that.
