To date, no huge mass graves have been found, so we’re left with the

Do you mean these?

No one is saying that Saddam was a great guy. The problem, as has been
stated several times before, is that Dubya justified his invasion based on
information that has turned out to be false and in some cases distorted.
|
But at the same time even Bill Clinton when president stated that sooner or
later the U.S. would have to deal with Sadam and his WOMD.
|
Clinton still says this, but it still doesn’t make a difference re: Dubya’s
choice to invade when he did and for the reasons that he gave.
| |
Even John Kerry
stated this shortly after the World Trade Center attacks.
|
Did Kerry make that statement? I don’t deny it, though I haven’t seen it. If
you have a cite, I’d be interested to read it. For that matter, we have to
consider the context and how that view has been borne out; did Kerry revise his
view upon gaining additional information? If not, did he endorse unilateral
action in defiance of the UN and the majority of the world?
| |
While I still
think it will take decades to dig up enough of Iraq to prove one way or the
other this was not just Dubya but everyone was ‘fooled’.
|
Sadly, that won’t be good enough. Dubya made his case based on information that
he claimed to know for certain, regarding the imminent threat to the US. If we
happen to find a tanker of Sarin 20 years down the line, then that will do
nothing to validate Dubya’s claims retroactively.
Dave!
