Conviction? Like the 17 UN resolutions? Do you need a lawyer and a judge to convince you of Saddam's WMD history?

We didn't go in when President Bush first came into office? Why is that? Did President Bush talk about the danger that Iraq posed prior to 911, presumably the danger was the same. If 911 wouldn't have occurred we wouldn't be there no matter how many infractions of UN Resolutions Hussein was guilty of.

My point remains: we were told that Iraq was a grave and gathering threat, but it turns out that they were no more grave and no more gathering than many of the surrounding countries. We didn't go into those countries because the risks would have been much, much greater.

Iraq may turn out to be a grand effort if it in fact does realign the region, but for the last time many of us who supported the War did so because we believed that Iraq was a grave and gathering threat. And I'm not convinced that our Intelligence is up to snuff concerning who can or cannot deliver another body blow to the US.
