Excuse me, we had 3,000 people killed when four airliners were turned into ad hoc cruise missiles.

We KNOW some of these folks were also asking about crop-dusters. Now, what might a terrorist use a cropduster for? I can think of two items: Chemical weapons or biological weapons. Hit a stadium with a major league baseball or football game, and you'll easily top the 9/11 death toll. You might even top the death toll of Anitetam, considered the bloodiest day in American history.

Saddam Hussein has the type of track record that makes it impossible for me in good conscience, to support any policy that leaves the risk in place that he might give chemical or biological weapons to a terrorist group.

Quite frankly, your position is morally indefensible. You're trusting the likes of Saddam Hussein with the lives of tens of thousands of American citizens. The most charitable word for such thinking is naive.

Where did I say I trusted Saddam?

It was none other than Rumsfield and James Baker who said we could trust Saddam back in the eighties. I guess they still think they are fit to comment on foreign policy even after such disasters that have cost the country trillions of dollars and so many lives.

I guess I just don't but into the boogeyman theory of history. You seem to be privy to a lot of evidence that the President doesn't have.
