Well Joe...the question seems to have been settled, and now, we no longer had to concern ourselves with Saddam Hussein, and the possibility of his selling weapons to terrorists to use against us.
So, where exactly is the downside Joe?
Uh, lets see here. He didn't use them in the early 90s when his butt was kicked out of Kuwait, as we slaughtered thousands of his Republican guard as they were fleeing back into Iraq. So many died they named it the "Road of death". And again, just *recently*, he didn't use them when we invaded his *entire* country.
I don't think one needs to be a senior investigator to understand that if he had these big bad weapons of mass destruction, and his *entire* damn country was being invaded, with *him* being a prime target, one would think he would use them. Eh louie?
I don't know louie, it's just a wild guess.
I must say though, compared to Saddam, I've seen tougher, meaner, transients, drunks and bums. When they pulled Saddam out of his hole, he looked like some petty, weak begger.
