I could have cared less whether he had WMDs. At that time, and now, we have one clear object - to root out and destroy radical Islamic terrorists. Saddam and WMDs had nothing to do with that objective. Attacking him instead of going after those responsible for and backing the radical Islamic terrorists was stupid from the get-go.


That's where we have a disagreement and I'm sure we are at odds over Iran as well. To my way of thinking, we should have gone in there already and sorted them out....then take their oil and yes eradicted the terrorists as well, but that means commitment, and we haven't done that since WWII>


Iranian ties to terrorism might be a good bit easier to make, but we should have sorted them out in 1979/1980.
