How was Saddam a threat?

Ask Ted Kennedy. He's the democrat who said it.

Face it we went to war for no good reason.

Face it col. Your blogs and articles are useless. They change nothing.

O ONE said we were sending our military to their death to enforce U N Resolutions or because Saddam was an Evil Dictator. WE SAID WE ARE SENDING THEM to defend America and now find out that there was NOTING to defend aginst in Iraq!!!!!

We actually did go to enforce U.N. Resolution 1441. Why is your memory so selective?

Col, even the other radical liberals don't care for what you say. How many times have you made the same post over and over? Bush was elected and re-elected, and there's nothing you will ever do about it. We are in this war, and we will finish it. Without the help of people like you who think and talk like our enemy.

Democrats said for many years before Bush that Saddam had WMD's and was a threat. You still can't tell us if they were lying. This shows you are nothing but a democratic hack who does nothing but blame Bush for every single problem that you can find. If you hate Bush and this war so much, go to Iraq and pick up an AK. I for one, will pay for your plane ticket.

Here is some more quotes by democrats. But I'm sure you will just ignore them as usua.

"This is a guy who is an extreme danger to the world" - Senator Biden

"Without question we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator leading an impressive regime. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation." - John Kerry

"[H]e does have the capacity, as all terrorist-related operations do, of smuggling stuff into the United States and doing something terrible. That is true. But there's been no connection, hard connection made yet between he and al-Qaida or his willingness or effort to do that thus far. Doesn't mean he won't. This is a bad guy." - Joe Biden

"(I have seen) a large body of intelligence information over a long time that he is working on and has weapons of mass destruction. Before 1991, he was close to a nuclear device. Now, you'll get a debate about whether it's one year away or five years away." - Dick Gephardt

Gene, have you read ONE word that others have said here? You are wrong! Let it go already!!

Col is nothing but a but person. But this, but that. No matter how much fact you present, even at his request, everything has a but in it that will justify his stance.

It was NOT our responsibility to enforce U N Resolutions. Show me where the U N designated the United States the enforcement agent of the U N?

Yes Saddam was brutal to his people. How does that create a threat to the United States?

Bottom line.,No matter what anyone thought, we attacked Iraq predicated on a condition that DID NOT EXIST. It is time for Bush to acknowledge we made an error by invading Iraq not changing the justification after his origional reason was proven incorrect. That error has cost America 2,150 Lives, 35,000 injured military and about $300 billion dollars so far. That was some mistake! Who has been held accountable for an error that cost our country so much?

It was NOT our responsibility to enforce U N Resolutions. Show me where the U N designated the United States the enforcement agent of the U N?

Well since the UN does not have it's own military someone had to. And since Saddam was so interested in attacking our jets that made us the perfect enforcement agent, which BTW Britain is also involve, you seem to keep forgetting that. We are part of the U.N. and so that automaticaly makes us one of the many enforcement agents, whether you like it or not.

Yes Saddam was brutal to his people. How does that create a threat to the United States?

Not only are you ignorant, but deaf and blind. All you do is keep finding ways to reword you point so that somehow you can make a point but it's the same thing no matter what you say or how you say it. Being a threat does not necesarily mean that you have your finger on the trigger. Would you consider a crime boss to be a threat to people? After all, he is not the one who goes about murdering people, that's why he pays someone else to do it. But he is still a threat.

Hey Col, you got your wish and Bush admited his mistake. Where are all those Americans, who are against Bush, that should be complaining about what he did? I have yet seen anything on TV that would make me believe that everyone is now pissed at Bush forgoing to Iraq on misinfo. Where are all these Sheenan type of people that they are not all over the news bashing Bush for his mistakes?

WRONG. The security Council is the ONLY agency that can inforce U N resolutions under UN command. That does NOT mean the U S military with a sprinkling of British forces.

Bush did not admit the invasion was an error. If the reasons were wrong then the invasion was wrong.

By your rational, the leaders of many countries unfriendly to this country are in need of invasion. Since Saddam had neither the weapons nor the means of delivery, please explain HOW he was a threat that justified going to WAR. War is a last resort. How were we at a LAST RESORT given the fact Iraq had no means to attack us? This war was unjustified pure and simple and NO amount of SPIN can change that fact. Iran was a far greater danger then Iraq.

The security Council is the ONLY agency that can inforce U N resolutions under UN command. That does NOT mean the U S military with a sprinkling of British forces. The security council can't enforce anything. UN member states (and council members) can. Bush did not admit the invasion was an error. If the reasons were wrong then the invasion was wrong.

That's a logical fallacy.

No it is fact. Remember Korea and Bosnia? WE have NO authority to enforce ANY UN resolutions and in fact they refused to approve the use of Force. There was no urgency to act in 2003 and if Bush had allowed the U N inspectiors to do their job, he would have learned what we know today that there was NO WMD. That however would have prevented Bush from doing waht he wanted and remove Saddam.

You can not spin this, Bush was wrong no matter how this war turns out!

Shooting missles at Israel does not count as a threat? Killing innocent Kurds does not count as a threat?

My, another ancient historian.

There was no urgency to act in 2003 and if Bush had allowed the U N inspectiors to do their job, he would have learned what we know today that there was NO WMD. That however would have prevented Bush from doing waht he wanted and remove Saddam.

Of course, but everone knows that by now--they just don't admit it.

I have yet seen anything on TV that would make me believe that everyone is now pissed at Bush forgoing to Iraq on misinfo. Where are all these Sheenan type of people that they are not all over the news bashing Bush for his mistakes?

Contrary to Draginol's perspective, liberals are not a violent group. They learned from demonsstrating against Vietnam.

Here is some more quotes by democrats.

They're but tautological arguments; no one could ever think of Saddam as a good guy. It's like saying this lemon is bitter.

And that ignores the fact that he also targeted British and American aircraft.

to no avail

Drmiler You have NOT given proof that Saddam killed "Millions" We all agree that Saddam was an evil person just like many other in this world.

No I didn't give you proof of millions. BUT I DID give you "proof" of hundreds of thousands (400,000 and that was 2003. how many more since then?). Or is that not good enough? If "anyone" here is full of it, it's YOU!
