Saddam never was building nuclear weapons. His country was suffering from the crippling sanctions. Bush simply made shit up. Like Republicans with Obama. Benghazi, Fast and Furious, and so on. Just made up shit.So killing bin laden would've made Saddam obey the un sanctions?So you think if Bush killed bin Laden the war would've been over? Bush did say he was worried more about defeating the terrorists, than concentrating on one man. He had laden on the run. Anyway his intelligence ended up getting laden. Thanks president Bush.I guess you're right, he got the blow job out of the papers, but didn't bother to get laden. When he had the chance. The reason, because liberals would've hated laden to be killed. To a liberal anything good for the country is bad. Another reason not to elect a president that makes his decisions on polls.
It was Bush who pulled his troops back in Tora Bora and allowed bin Laden to excape into Pakistan
Made sense actually. Bush realized that killing or capturing bin Laden in 2002 would have caused the American public to consider the war on terror to be over. America wouldn't have bought his invade Iraq rhetoric if bin Laden was dead.
And we know Bush wasn't going to jeopardize his Iraq invasion
No
I believe that if Bush had killed bin Laden in 2002 like he could have, he never would have gotten his war in Iraq
That is why he was so unenthusiastic about getting bin Laden
So explain then WHY would Saddam allow 576,000 children to starve because he wouldn't certify he didn't have WMDs?
In five years 576,000 children starved BECAUSE SADDAM refused to certify WMD destruction!
The sanctions were imposed by the Security Council after Iraq invaded Kuwait in August 1990. Led by the United States, the Council has rejected many Iraqi appeals to lift the restrictions, which have crippled the economy, until Iraq accounts for all its weapons of mass destruction and United Nations inspectors can certify that they have been destroyed in accordance with several Council resolutions.

How simple would it have been then just to "Certify"?
But all the American deaths from liberating 28 million people from this totally depraved dictator who KNEW he didn't have WMDs but wouldn't certify he didn't have!
This depraved dictator should have been removed as Clinton ORDERED with the 1998 Liberation of Iraq Act!
But of course YOU with your love of Terrorists and of Saddam didn't care if 1.2 million kids would starve if Saddam wasn't removed!
You didn't care if Saddam WAS as these 32 democrat quotes pointed out always DID have WMDs ...
So with the backdrop of 9/11 and the murder of 3,000 people of the worst attack on American soil EVER..
given all the issues with Saddam PLUS many of you forget the tremendous anxiety of the Anthrax attacks that seven days after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, anonymous letters laced with deadly anthrax spores began arriving at media companies and congressional offices. Over the ensuing months, five people died from inhaling anthrax and 17 others were infected after exposure.Feb 15, 2011
NO ONE KNEW where these came from BUT we did KNOW Saddam had the following bioweapons:
Of these, three — anthrax, botulinum and aflatoxin— had proceeded to weaponization for deployment.

SO please tell me you would have been ok with anthrax, botulinum and aflatoxin weaponized by Saddam? You'd be ok with his starving by now nearly 1.2 million?
A) Did these DEMOCRATS make these statements MANY before Bush was President? YES or NO!

The Cost of Ignoring UN Inspectors: An Unnecessary War with Iraq
"
The IAEA’s Director General, Mohamed ElBaradei, and UNMOVIC’s Executive Chairman, Hans Blix, both reported progress, following the return of UN inspectors to Iraq in November 2002, in resolving critical questions about the current status of Iraq’s WMD programs.
Based on more than a hundred visits to suspect sites and private interviews with a number of individual scientists known to have been involved with WMD programs in the past, ElBaradei stated that the IAEA had “to date found no evidence or plausible indication of the revival of a nuclear weapons programme in Iraq....”
The Cost of Ignoring UN Inspectors An Unnecessary War with Iraq
Couple of points...
Why didn't Saddam certify there were NO WMDs and end the sanctions keeping 100,000 children from starving each year?
Saddam met every day with one man, an American he knew as "Mr. George." George is FBI agent George Piro, who was the front man for a team of FBI and CIA analysts who were trying to answer some of the great mysteries of recent history. What happened to the weapons of mass destruction? Was Saddam in league with al Qaeda? Why did he choose war with the United States?
Proof is in what Saddam told Piro...which was ....Saddam still wouldn't admit he had no weapons of mass destruction, even when it was obvious there would be military action against him because of the perception he did. Because, says Piro,
"For him, it was critical that he was seen as still the strong, defiant Saddam. He thought that [faking having the weapons] would prevent the Iranians from reinvading Iraq," he tells Pelley.
He also intended and had the wherewithal to restart the weapons program. "[Saddam] still had the engineers. The folks that he needed to reconstitute his program are still there," says Piro. "He wanted to pursue all of WMDs to reconstitute his entire WMD program." This included chemical, biological and nuclear weapons, Piro says.
Interview with FBI agent who interrogated Saddam Archive - AnandTech Forums
If you are an honest person READ the below article by an individual that was asked by U.S. Central Command called on us to help transport from Iraq enough yellowcake uranium to make several atomic bombs stored at Saddam’s nuclear weapons complex, I realized why neither the Pentagon nor the White House advertised the presence of this WMD precursor: safety and security.
Regardless of what position one takes on the U.S. invasion, the world could not abide by large quantities of nuclear weapons precursor in the hands of the genocidal tyrant in Baghdad.
As we are seeing with the current, seemingly endless negotiations with Iran, the millionaire mullahs of Tehran are using the pretext of “peaceful” nuclear power generation in order to assert that the denial thereof is a direct assault on a nation’s sovereignty. Consequently, the concept that we could have gotten the yellowcake removed from Iraq as a part of lifting the rapidly degrading sanctions and truly certifying the country clean of all chemical weapons without the overthrow of Saddam defies logic and experience. The continued possession by Iraq of approximately 5,000 chemical warheads undiscovered after almost eight years of aggressive UN inspections along with the existence of enough yellowcake uranium to make 14 or so nuclear bombs with technology that the Iranians and Libyans already possessed calls for a new coda to replace “Bush lied, people died.” Certainly, we should look to the reinstatement of a principle justification for the American invasion of Iraq.
