They're out there if you want them. I'm sure they've been discussed to
death here before, but I don't have time right now to track that down.
So once again it's google to the rescue. Here's a short list from one
of the sites.
Reasons for going into Iraq.
As stated by both President Bush and P.M. Blair, there were several
reasons we decided to remove Sadam Hussein:
1. Failure to live up to the terms of his 1991 surrender, including
accounting for and destroying ALL knows WMD. (15% of his then stockpile
REMAIN unaccounted for.)
2. Defiance of UN resolutions over a 12 year period, as well as shooting
at coalition planes patrolling the UN mandated "no fly" zone.
3. Human rights violations in Iraq, including but not limited to torture,
organized policy of rape and aggressive suppression of dissent.
4. Cooperation with terrorists, including terrorist training camp at
Salman Pak (including a commercial airliner body for hijacking practice),
giving refuge to terrorists, including but not limited to Abu Nidal,
suspected ties to Al Qaeda (since documented).
5. Threat of nuclear development. It's noteworthy to point out that
British Intelligence has STILL NOT RETRACTED its contention that Sadam
was trying to purchase enriched uranium from AFRICA. There was no mention
of NIGER in their report, nor in President Bush's State of the Union
Address, by the way.
