#5 I missed that article back then. Article probably wasn't 'well advertised'.

Thanks!

#6 Saudi Arabia’s grass roots of Muslim clerics, mosquegoers and wealthy oilmen funded al Qaeda’s $30 million annual budget at the time a Saudi-dominated platoon of terrorists carried out the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks on America.

Yet the kingdom and its Islamic rulers had nothing to do with the plot, which killed nearly 3,000 people.

Grass roots is bad enough, isn't it? Doesn't that mean the people? Doesn't that mean they hate us? We should have nuked them. We still should. OK, how about we just arclight Mecca? If we were worried about the oil we should have sent our military to occupy their oil fields instead of Iraq's. Saddam did not finance alQaeda, the Soddies did. Was Saddam just a convenient whipping boy? Why do we continue to coddle these creeps unless our leaders are just as bad as theirs?

#7 Was Saddam just a convenient whipping boy?

There's evidence that indicates otherwise.

#8 I feel the same way now as then: Killing that Genocidal creep Saddam and his rapist children was a net gain for humanity as a whole.

#9 Killing that Genocidal creep Saddam and his rapist children was a net gain for humanity as a whole.

Amen and amen.

#10 Ditto Amen, but, the problem with killing people for being evil SOBs is that it's so hard to know when to stop.

#11 Yep, the clean-up operation in Iraq is still on going.

#12 Killing that Genocidal creep Saddam and his rapist children was a net gain for humanity as a whole.

OK, but Saddam did not attack the United States and kill innocent civilians. The Soddies did. Since we don't seem to know when to stop I'd suggest Mecca.

Al Qaeda and other jihadi group cadres were trained by Saddam Hussein's people at the Salman Pak facility, Ebbang Uluque6305. There were classes in hijacking, making biological and chemical weapons, and all the things a good jihadi needs to know to be a successful terrorist.

Geebus, EU6305, we are deploying Lindsay Lohan to Mecca; even I feel bad about that.

#15 Why did we remove Saddam? The rumor was that OBL's plans were much more expansive than we were told. Phase 1 - eliminate his Northern Alliance competition via assassination (completed); Phase 2 - increase his stature in the ME by humbling the great satan via the planes operation (completed); phase 3 - assassinate Saddam and install a proxy loyal to a planned OBL caliphate (fail). Remember at that time OBL heavily influenced the affairs of several countries from Africa - Yemen - the Saudis were paying him tribute - and he chose his al Qaeda (base) in the remote region of Afghanistan where he thought himself out of our reach. It is rumored that Saddam ferreted his assassins out and mitigated the initial threat. It was further rumored that we really, really did not want Saddam killed by OBLs folks with an end result that the a new OBL influenced dictator would control one of the world's largest armies. Saddam was in a spot - we offered him a way out, he wouldn't take it. Instead we forced him out and naively tried to install a democracy in Iraq (democracies can not be overthrown by a single bullet like a dictatorship was the theory). Somehow we didn't consider the end result - an envionment where a Shia democracy would push the remnants of Saddam's military leaders to create an AQI bred caliphate...OBLs intent all along...
