Wonderful work as always.

Does anyone actually believe that if there had been no invasion of Iraq and Saddam were still in power, that he would NOT have a full-bore nuclear bomb program right now to compete with that of Iran?

And of course this Iraqi nuclear program would be called by Democrats "yet another Bush administration failure."

Exactly. Saddam was absolutely paranoid with Iran attacking them with Chemical weapons or nuclear weapons so Saddam would not possibly just take a defensive position in this case without being able to hit back with WMD. It was the Chemical Weapons used by Iraq against Iran that made them able to stand against the Iranians and saved Saddam regime during the Iran-Iraq war from 1980 to 1988.
