plenty of chances to simply disclose what he had, or didn't have. This man
tried to assassinate a living American president. He supported terrorists
and operated training camps within his borders. I didn't say Al Queda, just
terrorist. Ansar Al Islam operated feely within Iraq. Palestinian suicide
bombers and their families received support from Iraq. We did not
manufacture this war. If anything I think by moving now, before he really
had a chance to rearm, we have saved American lives.
He was bad for the stability of the region. He was bad for the world.
Hell I truly hope little by little, say every decade or so, that we topple
another dictator.

Why should US companies benefit from a war manufactured by our own country?
When organized crime does that it's called a "protection racket".
