There's no point, I would just say he is speaking from hindsight.

A bit more investigation by unhampered investigators yes.

Unless you're saying that they outright lied, then they did tell you why. If you're saying they lied, prove it. France and Russia thought he had them, and they were jockeying for position to cup Saddam's balls while he slept.

Well a cynic would say that the reconstruction contracts where not being selected by the Iraqi's. I have no problem with the US selecting the contractors for the ones where it is footing the bill. But it isn't footing the bill for all of the work.

The Iraqis aren't rebuilding the country, we are. It is not in our best intrest to allow people who actively stood against us to have any role in representing us. I do not trust them, and do not want them to have the chance for more sabotage. The Iraqis are reciving goods and services from anyone who will trade with them, I have heard about no embargos.

It is all ******** that that idiot Saddam had WMD or had connection with terrorists.

Except Saddam did have WMD at one time. Saddam was a terrorist. I know it because I saw him offer money for my death on a weekly basis from his own public TV. I think it was about 10 grand until the war started, then it was 20 grand. He also took terrorist actions against Iraqis. His terrorist units have been fighting the Coalition in Iraq since the war started.

They may not have liked Saddam, but they still put him on a pedestal as the only one willing to stand up to the west. He was made a hero, even if the higher upps found him distasteful.
