Panda, in the very rare cases that I've made comments on political threads (like I said above, politics is all new to me), the one thing that sticks in my mind re: Saddam..."the ends justified the means." The ouster of repressive regimes, by force if necessary, is basically a good thing. The historical fact remains that oftentimes those regimes are simply replaced/surrogated by some other equally perverted and oppressive regimes, which themselves have their own agendas.
That's the way life is.

I am completely amased... oh, no, hang-on, I'm not, it's what 'us pinko-commies' have been saying for ages. As to the claim there are proven Al-Q/Iraq links... well, there's this report about some 66,193 links between Al-Q and Iraq...

It made me laugh, but not as much as the amazing use of the word 'reportedly' in this article;

I find this USA article very interesting; it's from May 2002;
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Bob Graham said Monday that the Bush administration should slow down plans to attack
...
The risk of high American casualties is one reason Graham wants President Bush to consider a "deferral" of his plans to attack . It could become "a longer and higher-casualty war than most Americans anticipate," he said.
Based on the intelligence briefings he has received, Graham says Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is not on the verge of developing weapons of mass destruction. For that reason, he said, the administration can afford to give United Nations diplomacy another chance to work. If it doesn't, he said, "at least we'll be able to say to the world that we took every possible step" before resorting to force.
Obviously it's for each individual to make up their own mind based on the facts as they see them.
I found your post interesting Panda, and agree that if you look at it from an issue of socil development/nation building, it'll take sometime for the Middle East to stabilise. I also think that Saudi is a cancer.
But this;
You impute lies to him, but I don't believe that's intentional. He sincerely felt that invading Iraq would be a step in the long process towards mid-east peace and prosperity. His advisors probably went overboard in their enthusiasum. That's not hard to do when it brings a smile to your Presidents face. If you knew more about the man you'd realize that he does want to do whats best for America. But what's best takes time. Our fast food mind set doesn't allow for the patience we need.
... I don't agree with. I really don't care at the end of the day if Bush lied unintentionally, or never actually lied himself but based a campaign on erroneous information.
If the boss of a company ignored the negative indications that were demonstrably there, and allowed his PR men to sell something to the shareholders on a pretext that fitted his personal opinions, and despite the long-term risks involved the company in something that looks like its gonna take years, lives and billions to sort out, using the support the pretext gathered, and it all came out, he'd go down at the next shareholders meeting.
Quite why President Bush should have less stringent rules of competancy applied to him I cannot understand.
The buck stops with him.

...just can't find a single quote where Bush stated Saddam was actually behind Sept 11.
Right. And the JWs NEVER ACTUALLY SAID that 1975 was "the end" of this system of things either....

I have to admit, I was amazed to read this morning that some 70% of Americans thought that Saddam was somehow connected to 9/11. Where the hell did they get that idea? I mean, I know the whitehouse tried to insinuate that, but it was pathetically obvious what they were doing.
We live in a world full of boneheads.
