That document was not the only thing they were going on apparently. Our own 9/11 commission report said Saddam had ties to terrorist orgs and was giving money to suicide bombers. You can haggle about what "operational" means if you want to. Saddam WAS in violation of many U.N. resolutions. He was a mass murdering tyrant. All in all, the war was highly justified.

A review of thousands of declassified government documents and interviews with former policymakers shows that U.S. intelligence and logistical support played a crucial role in shoring up Iraqi defenses against the "human wave" attacks by suicidal Iranian troops [this was when Iraq and Iran were at war]. The administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush authorized the sale to Iraq of numerous items that had both military and civilian applications, including poisonous chemicals and deadly biological viruses, such as anthrax and bubonic plague.

That should wrap it up....Sir Evil said:Bush is president, Iraq has been invaded, terrorist are there, GET OVER IT!
rtwngAvngr said:Times change. SItuations change. Alliances change. THis was all before the u.n. resolutions.
Sir Evil said:Bush is president, Iraq has been invaded, terrorist are there,Yea, now they are! .
Actually, I am over it. I just am a big fan of learning from mistakes. Hence the George Santayana quote.

You are contradicting yourself. Before WWII, Hitler wasn't an enemy of the west now was he? He only became an enemy once he THOUGHT our appeasement was giving him the rights to do whatever he wanted.
The problem is Sir Evil that almost any country in that region has its share of terrorists that are tolerated or supported by the government. This includes our closest allies, such as Pakistan and Saudi Arabia. The newest issue of Time (or newsweek, I don't remember which) says that most of the Taliban leftovers are still there, but are receiving aid from the region's secret service to undertake raids into Afghanistan with.Sir Evil said:Fair enough! I am not so sure it was a mistake though, there were many other reasons to invade Iraq and also I can see it being a place of sanctuary for other terrorist had we invaded a nearby country, so in any event I can't see any mistake in it.
