No my friend, we had no plans to attack Iraq had 9-11 not happened. We were just fine letting Saddam play his game of hide and seek with the UN. We might bomb them here or there to retaliate for lighting up our fighters patrolling the no-fly zone. But there was no plan for a full scale land invasion...until 9-11. Some in the Pentagon might have wanted to. But there was nothing that gave them the excuse to move ground forces into Iraq. 9-11 gave us the excuse.
Stop watching Nancy Pelosi and Michael Moore.
