"remind you that extrapolating cause and effect scenarios from random data "

Extrapolating from random data?! The USA's sale of WMDs to Saddam and then pursuing his removal based on his possesion of these, and other WMDs, is hardly 'random data'. Talk about extrapolating! Pot, meet kettle...


"The selling of weapons technology to Saddam cannot be used as an indictment of US complicity in his actions."

Never did I make such an assertion. I only referenced the historical connection between the Bush family and Saddam.


"We allowed other diplomatic personell to leave the country on 9/11, it is just the Saudis and Bin Laden relatives that are always mentioned. "

Probably because the 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi and all were Bin Laden's minions? Were any other diplomatic personnel flown out of the country so closely-tied to 9/11 itself? I didn't think so.


"You get to read source material and form opinions based on the actual facts instead of edited, recopied, and pre-pasted propoganda. "


What - and miss debates like this one with people like yourself? NEVER!


"But they are members of the same evil brotherhood of terror and are both equally enemies of the United States. "

Nor was this point ever disagreed with. Subtracting points for your pointing out of the obvious. Sorry!

It was not only his possession of WMD that led to the war. It was his proven willingness to use them against enemies and his own citizens. It was his complete unwillingness to accede to even the most basic of controls. And I will assert again that you stated two widely known facts to support your argument that the war against Saddam was somehow not connected tot he war with Osama Bin Laden. You used to unrelated facts and filled in the blanks. And then you resorted to name calling instead of actually arguing the merits of your case.

You cannot subtract points for my pointing out the obvious without thereby negating your generalization riddled argument.
