Wow, for Mr. Know It All, you sure are uninformed.p> Sadaam was the first to use gas chambers and gas attacks since Hitler. Thanks for making Nazi Germany a comparison, as it's exactly my point... are you familiar with the Kurdish genocide? At all?

Name one. (as in terrorist in Baghdad)

Okay... here's a snip, since apparently you haven't bothered to base your statement on anything aside from rampant, innaccurate Lib talking points

BAGHDAD, Iraq — Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the Al Qaeda in Iraq leader who led a brutal insurgency that included homicide bombings, kidnappings and beheadings, was killed in an airstrike on a building north of Baghdad, U.S. and Iraqi officials announced Thursday.

How about Abdul Yasin, a pointman of the '93 WTC bombings? How about Tariq Azziz going to the former UNSCOM founder with "massive information" on many known and suspected terrorists living in Iraq? He was going to provide these leads in exchange for lifted sanctions.

Honest to God, I've only recently began posting on FR, but lurked for a very long time, and your response was easily the dumbest thing I've yet read. Touche, sir

[Mr. Know It All]

Abu Musab al-Zarqawi operated in a region that Saddam could not control due to the northern no fly zone. Saddam would gladly have killed him, had he been able to send troops into the area. Abdul Yasin was a bad guy, but he was "retired." He was not plotting against the US, as you claimed. Tariq Aziz did not provide any information.

your response was easily the dumbest thing I've yet read.

Right back at ya. It's time to abandon the myths that many have been clinging to (bitterly, no doubt) for the last 5-8 years. It's time to stop pretending that invading Iraq was necessary or even a good idea. No one is buying it anymore and I never did.

Mr. Know It All also insists that we're a democracy, but even if we are a republic, it's academic and doesn't mean anything.
