I still have the full text of Bush's message to Congress requesting authorization for military action in Iraq. There is NO mention of WMDs in it. That was a fabrication put up by Democrats to cover themselves with some of their base for voting for it. Ironically we DID find nerve gas WMDs there, and we had extensive satellite observations of convoys leaving Irag for Syria with [something] on board.
Is Irag safer today than under Saddam? Considering that he was often murdering Kurds and Marsh Arabs at the rate of thousands a week, I'd say yeah. At this point Baltimore is more dangerous than Baghdad, to our shame.
I remember at the same time reading information about Saddam letting terrorists train in isolated parts of Iraq. But I didn’t save the article...was very detailed.
