Removing him waisnt the bad part , Its how you did it

That wasn't my point. You, and others, say that the fact we put him in power suggests that we had to right to take him out.

Making up a big story about WMD and trying to scare everyone and waisnt even true. If you guys had the made it the point that you would invade because he did crimes agiast humanity and was a evil element that would be a problem in the future things would be different, You didnt give the inspectors enough time and you werent patient if you would have waited you could have had U.N approval,

That is such an old myth it's not even funny anymore. It's very common knowledge that everyone, including Saddam, thought he had the WMDs. Clinton was very convinced. Wes Clark was very convinced. Hans Blix just recently stated that he was also very convinced for a long time. The idea that WMD is a lie started by Bush is complete bullshit, and no one ever makes that claim anymore.

Now, we have a certified madman, and the entire world believes he has these weapons. He refuses for years to cooperate with inspectors. Before we had patience, but 9/11 changed that. He still wouldn't cooperate. The UN wasn't working fast enough, 12 years was way more time than necessary. So we took him out. And it was the right thing to do.

Saddam was contained and waisnt a threat. The war in Iraq is not a war on terrorism just a crappy dictator who hates the jews,But now that you went you burned up your resources and alienated all your allies and if there is another necessary military action like afghanistan somewhere else you wont have the resources and you will be tied up in Iraq.

NOW we know he wasn't a threat. No one knew then. He most certainly put across a convincing performance. Why, only he knows, since it brought him ruin.

Also, I don't think there are any other military operations planned. If one comes up, we'll manage. We always do.

The reason I brought up that picture , Is that if Rumfeld had a shread of morality he would not have supported saddam and give any weapons too shady dangerous men just in the sole interest of the U.S, I think what he did in the 80's says alot about him today.

Yeah, that people make mistakes, especially when you have the mad Ayatollah in Iran? We made a mistake propping him up. It was hardly the only time. One could just as easily blame Clinton for two major transgressions of a similar taste, one being the disastrous agreement with North Korea that allowed them to build their nuclear weapons program, and the time in 1998 when Sudan offered Bin Laden to America and Clinton refused to take him.
