His military is much weaker than it was at the time of the Persian Gulf War, but the threat of his labs is real.”

Careful there Thomas. If you are gonna open this gate you should know that your quote from Bill is incomplete. Conspicuously incomplete.
”…Saddam Hussein is a continuing concern because his laboratories are busy. His military is much weaker than it was at the time of the Persian Gulf War, but the threat of his labs is real.”It is not as immediate as the need to restart the Middle East peace process and stop the violence there and it may not require an invasion, but it must be addressed.”
NOT IMMEDIATE…that is the key. No need to go off half cocked and take resources away from the IMMEDIATE threat of Afghanistan. Now we are in a real mess. November elections won’t get us out of it, but if people are informed and not just reading HALF the story we’ll be fine.
NOW GO GET YOUR FUCKING SHINE BOX.
Congrats! You read the entire essay! You get a puppy sticker.
