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.

Your profile tells me everything I need to know about you; you love to incite pissing contests. Fine.

The fundamental, moral and practical imperative for bringing the fight to Iraq is undoubtable. That, despite mountains of evidence to the contrary, you'd refute this tells me your unwilling to budge (bitterly, no doubt) based on pre-conceived notions of what you THINK the war on terror is all about. It all comes down to a simple question in this instance: do you feel that priority targets (be them Al Qaeda or Taliban in nature) are essentially useless to go after because more will just "spring up in their place"?

In Fallujah and Baqubah we killed literally thousands of Talibani recruits and stifled a dangerous and burgeoning arm of extreme militant Islam. The progress and the within Iraq for the name of protecting liberty is all the evidence you need to justify the invasion, even before you consider our ousting of the most criminal and abhorrent dictator in the region

American troops raided the home of the mastermind of Saddam Hussein's biological weapons lab on Wednesday and discovered a sprawling, recently abandoned terrorist training camp south of Baghdad as they dug for secrets from a dead regime.

So much for your BS propaganda.
