Well, my understanding is that we (= the coalition) wanted to leave him in power last time, ostensibly as a means of preventing an islamist takeover of Iraq. Methinks that post 9-11, the risk of allowing SWaddam Insane in power, in a position of unleashing chemical/biological/nuclear weapons against the West (through proxy fighters), is too great. I agree with the current proposition. He should be "replaced", the sooner the better. He could have been killed the last time. He will be killed this time. This is of course only my opinion.

I agree. But it makes me wonder why we are not ready to attach Saudi as well at this time. Useful idiots?

We could use the oil cut-off as a signal to develop alternate sources.
