And they did find some chemical weapons that would have done a number on an American city if they got in the wrong hands.

But come on, why would a great guy like Saddam ever give them to someone who would kill Americans

Spence posted some valuable info on this somewhere. Instead of using Snope for now on, search Spence.

You're right. Why would Saddam do that? Although, he probably wouldn't There is more terrorism in Iraq today than there was 8 years ago. Saddam wasn't a terrorist, he was a vile, dictator. His goals were to increase his power, not attack America any way possible. You seem to have bought into the propaganda. We have the absolute best intelligence agencies in the world and you're telling me that they were able to track the detailed operations going on inside specific buildings but then couldn't track warehouses full of weapons and weapon-making materials being transported?

The whole WMD excuse is still a joke.

I think your forgetting that we went to war twice with Saddam. He had every reason in the world to harm America. He killed thousands of his own. Our intelligence was not very good. Ask Kerry, he was on the intellgence commitee.

You mean the war where there was a fully supported international coalition that cost the US approximately $60billion with the US role paid for mostly by the Saudis?

He had no reason to harm America knowing fully the complete wrath of destruction that would be brought down on him. He had no allies and as such, no political support. In the first war, it took 100 hours for the US led forces to defeat Iraq.

Not to mention, there's still no proof.

Knowing fully the complete wrath of destruction that would be brought down on him. He continued to toy with that pathetic organization and Hanns and his experts.

It took about the same amount of time the second time too.

But then we continue to deal with who JD?

You are correct, and neither time had much of anything to do with WMD.
