Funny you mention 'selective memory', my first reply was to refute your points about saddam and his support of terrorism, and all you have done is change the subject to false allegations about what the US may have done to support bin laden way back when (well before he ever became al quaeda head) and whether saddam bought chemicals from USA (dont think so, and you havent stated any facts to support your claim; in any case, not relevent, if jacques chirac sold saddam a nuke reactor back in 1978, that doesnt mean the french *wanted* saddam to build nuke bombs)... Yet none of your verbose replies refuted my point about saddam hussein and his support of terror. you simply forgot that point. Do you acknowledge the facts, or are you trying to be a robot-poster that spews discredited junk from "The Nation" magazine? ...

Dittos on your answer, Chris.

What hogwash to say that Saddam, who has harbored Al Quaeda since 9/11, and who trained Al Quaeda and other terrorists before 9/11 is "no threat". Do we just forget that Saddam ordered the first WTC attack in 1993? I hope not.

The American diplomat killed in Jordan was killed by Al Quaeda operatives who had links to Iraq. interrogation led the authorities, via their killers, to a terrorist who got 'medical help' in Baghdad and has moved between Jordan and Iraq a number of times. turns out he is the #5 al quaeda leader. That same terrorist has ties to the cell that was arrested last week in London and which had some ricin poison... now where did they get that?

Did yu also know that Saddam has been funding GIA, Algerian terror group, part of which was arrested in Spain this week?

Saddam recently bought euqipment for making chlorine agents, banned equipment via India and useful for WMD chemical warfare -- vx gas etc.

Many former Taliban have been supplied by Saddam and his regime and let loose in northern Iraq to fight tthe kurds.

Time and again, Saddam has given aid and harbor to terrorists. It is said the reason he had Abu Nidal killed this year was that this terrorist didnt want to train Al Quaeda. Saddam wants Americans dead and works indirectly through terror networks to make that happen, including Al Quaeda.

Now, being a terror sponsor is part of why we must take out Saddam, but Saddam's WMB are really why it is Job One.

Saddam as far as ideology and capacity for violence is no less evil than Hitler. Saddam has killed over a million of his own people, tens of thousands killed by chemical warfare - he is a man who bombed Iraqi civilians with chemical warfare and let whole cities die of it. He tried similar with Tel Aviv during gulf war. he started 2 wars.

Imagine Hitler with The Bomb. Do you really want that?

First off,it's been a couple of days since I've been on FR,and I can't remember if I responed to this one earlier or not. None the less,this looks like a good place to start.

Your facts are twisted to suit your purposes. You are only seeing what you want to see,and ignoring what is "uncomfortable" to you. Don't worry about it too much,you and Chris WILL end up getting your wish. The US WILL spend our youth and our fortune fighting Israel's war for her. Granted,we will also be fighting Saudi Arabia's war for her too and that protecting the Saudi's may be the prime reason we will be fighting,but I suspect you don't really care about what happens to the Saudi's one way or the other.

all you have done is change the subject to false allegations about what the US may have done to support bin laden way back when

There is nothing false about these allegations. We were supporting anybody who was willing to fight against Iran,and he was one of those involved in this fight.

(well before he ever became al quaeda head) and whether saddam bought chemicals from USA (dont think so, and you havent stated any facts to support your claim;

IF I remember the news reports right,the US "supplied" Hussein with certain chemicals that CAN be used in chemical or bio weapons. These reports were mostly in foreign newspapers like the London Times,and implied the chemicals were provided for free. While it may be true (and probably is) that these chemicals can also be used for non-sinister purposes,this does nothing to refute the fact that they were supplied to Iraq. The only stories I remember about chemical weapons material being sold to Iraq involved Germany as the seller.

in any case, not relevent,(well before he ever became al quaeda head) and whether saddam bought chemicals from USA (dont think so, and you havent stated any facts to support your claim; in any case, not relevent,

I see. Kinda like "I didn't have sex with that woman,and even if I did,you can't prove it. Which is the same thing as saying it never happened.",huh?
