"If" seems to be the operative word in this sentence.

Excuse me, but wasn't it the UN's own inspectors who daid that he had disarmed?
The same inspectors who were discredited by the US administration and later were proven to be nothing short of absolutely right?

Sorry, but you went in in accordance to new UN resolutions the US practically twisted the UN's arm to pass, after bipassing the whole security council with the exception of the UK.
When did those mass graves occur? When James Baker was friendly? Before that, when Rumsfeld sold weapons?
Oh, and after that too, after the real coalition decided to leave Saddam in power and the shiites to deal with the shit.

We do get righteous really fast. We just chose to forget N.Korea, the ongoing genocide in Sudan and the ressurgence of feelings of a job left unfinished in Ruwanda.

And just where the fuck is Bin Laden????
