I was under the impression we were going to take out Saddam and liberate the Iraqi people from the get go.

Wars are waged against neighbours because of territorial conflicts or to liberate a country from a foreign occupier. Wars are not waged against countries halfway around the globe when they are no threat to the world.

The Iraqi/al Qaeda connection is real.
NONE of the terrorists came from or were trained in Iraq. OBL hated Saddam because he led a secular country.

We needed to take out this terrorist Saddam and everybody/thing he harbored for the intent harm to the US and the world.

History shows it's the US that harmed Iraq, not Iraq that harmed the US. Plenty of evidence, currently going on, that demonstrates it.

We had to do it.

And attract terrorists in Iraq? And chase the middle class away, leaving the religious in power to create an islamist state?
OBL won three times: the US did the job of eliminating Saddam for him, then the US attracted terrorists in Iraq, while not enough resources were left to find him.
What a way to comfort the 911 vicitims' relatives.
