Becuase he has had them and not used them, even when we were stomping him into tomato paste in 1991. Saddam knows as soon as he uses a WMD against us or a neighbor, he is toast. There is NO 'clear and present danger'. There are dozens of countries that hate us and have WMD... Just spin the globe and put your finger down at or below the equater and chances are you'll find one. Do we then invade all of those countries? Or just ones who pissed us off as of late?

Tech1:
Motive + Weapons = Clear and Present Danger

Again, it is more likely that he will use them in a war against us than sit on them indefinately if we do not attack- this justification does not stand up.

Tech1:
"Eagerly awaiting some logic remuses that turn red into blue..."

Tech1, thats hogwash too. You might as well say that about mathematics ('cause thats all mathematics is, on the foundation level). You think I am doing something like lying with statistics by pointing out logical fallacy? Thats like saying: "I can't dispute your supporting facts but you are still wrong".

Again, you prove me right- we end up arguing just as much about innuendo than fact, AND you term me pompous just because I:
1) Disagree with you
2) Point out that the emperor is naked (that political arguments devolve into BS here if one party disagrees with the standard line)

Not that I really mind, I have been called a lot worse by alot better ;-)
