[Cacophonous]

Was a dictator that housed and funded terrorists and terrorism, pursued WMD, butchered and gassed his own people, invaded his neighbors and was a sworn enemy of the US an imminent threat?

I see it this way. Was the idea that Iraqi forces would somehow invade our country to attack us an "imminent" threat? No. Was the idea of Saddam giving or selling WMD's to terrorist groups covertly an "Imminent" threat? Possibly.

Some people forget all the history behind us going back into Iraq. Remember us going back to the UN and getting another resoulution? All 15 security member nations agreed 15-0 that Iraq was a threat. Remember the UN sending back in their team of inspectors to fumble around sites that Saddam would allow them to visit? Remember when the inspectors left and the Dems cried out to allow the inspections to work for another six months or however long they figured it would take (20 years??)Remember the volumes of data and cd's that he submitted that were outdated and incomplete? I could go on and on....

Saddam was warned repeatedly to cooperate. He was offered the chance for exile and to give up power. He refused all his options and the rest is history.
