I still don’t understand how there’s any controversy regarding Iraq’s WMD programs. Many were physically verified by UN weapons inspectors, including thousands of liters of anthrax solution. He is known to have nerve gassed thousands of his own people - nerve gas is a WMD. I hope you’ve all seen the videos of the Kurdish towns that were gassed. Anyone who thinks that removing Saddam was a bad idea is insane.
I think the legitimate criticisms of Bush revolve around communication, money management (both with the war and domestically), his failure to secure the known WMDs in Iraq, his failure to support historical conservative principles such as small government, limited spending, secure borders, the rule of law, and a sane energy policy. So, there are some real issues - just none of the ones the Left enjoys trumpeting. ;-)
McCain ‘08! HE SUCKS LESS!
That is it was known and accounted for by the UN inspection teams. As a result, the MSM discounted it and considered it part of the proof that Saddam had given up his nuclear ambitions.
BTTT
And what's his name...that chief inspector said: "Unless he takes us to the stuff, we'll never find it".
Then add in that he said all the materials were there to make the stuff. All it takes is dual use components....and they're hidden in plain sight.
People STILL don't realize how close Saddam was to getting out from under the UN.
Going to Iraq...Bush did the right thing at the right time....
The damn "conditional" treaty for the Gulf War was nothing more than "time" for Saddam and the evils he plotted.
