How do you figure this. Let's just look at one bullseye issue that sticks out like a sore thumb. When Hussein attacked Kuwait, he had in control a ton of oil. 6 months later he attacked Saudi Arabia. Without us there, he would have easily taken Saudi. At this point he would have controlled the oil out of Iraq, Kuwait, and Saudi. Do you think our economy would have reacted positively to that? You might have liked to pay $5.00 per gallon for gasoline, but I don't think I would have enjoyed that. People wouldn't pay it, therefore gas stations would start shutting down. If gas stations start shutting down, trucks stop moving. Trucks stop moving and the entire system would halt.
Saddam had biochemical weapons (matter of record), there is ample proof of his willingness to use them (matter of record), the only thing that he hates more than the US (in general) is the Bush family (specifically) (matter of record), he is a member of a select group of individuals in positions of power in the Middle East who have openly admitted to the above (matter of record), he had the largest, most powerful Army found in the aforementioned group of individuals (matter of record), we are fighting a war against a shadowy, multi-national band of extreme fundamentalist Islamic suicide commandoes who get their funding from Muslim governments that hate the U.S. (matter of record), Saddam Hussein funded terrorists (matter of record).
How the hell was he NOT a threat?
