Why, that'd be whatever our captains of industry sold him! Ask Rumsfeld, he was there... we've got a nice pic of him smiling, shaking hands w/ his buddy Saddam at right about that time... Remember, he was virtually guaranteed no reaction from us with that action; we knew it was going on, and we turned our backs and put our fingers in our ears. "La la la la la la I can't hear yooooouuuu." Oh, BTW, if you ask a Kurd, I'm not so sure they'd consider themselves "his own people." You know, FWIW... Um, I don't think *anybody* is saying he never had any nasty weapons, just that he almost certainly didn't have them when we decided we didn't want to wait for the UN weapons inspectors (with whom he was cooperating for several months immediately pre-war, I might add for those with memories that don't extend beyond 5 minutes) to NOT find them. Look, I shouldn't have point out the flagrant lies and deceptions of the Bush Administration to a reader of this list (we are, after all, a fairly well-informed bunch), but every credible witness within Iraq has admitted that the vast majority of all that stuff was destroyed after the first Gulf War, we know those two "mobile labs" were for hydrogen production for weather balloons, that those aluminum tubes were declared by the IAEA to be unsuitable for nuclear weapons productions (just ordinary old rockets, don'tchaknow, which were A-Okay), those "unmanned aerial drones" were little more than 30-year-old airplanes held together with tin cans and twine. On and on... Oh, yeah... there was that bit about buying uranium from Africa, heh heh. Somehow, I think it's a bit more than just 16 words at issue here.
