Ok, Randy. You have said that Iraq had WMD programs. Could you please 
enlighten us as to what they had that you know of and what evidence you have?

What Terrorist Organizations?
W. said that they supported Al Qaeda. OBL hated Husein more than he hated 
america. He had made several attempts against Sadaam. The cnn showing of the 
Sarin being used on a dog was done with the Northern Kurds. The kurds were 
our allies and from what I have heard, we were providing them the same 
training that we provided to Iraq back in the early 80's. I know for a fact 
that we did a lot of genetic and chemical training with the iraqi's back 
then. Basically, we helped the kurds help OBL. So what Terrorist 
Organizations do you know of that Sadaam Financed?

Lets assume that W. was correct (at this point, he is a known lier with this 
info). Then Sadaam had WMD programs and had connections to Terrorists 
organizations. Cool. Then we should after him. Except, Please explain to me 
why we are doing nothing about North Korea who has had a very active AMD 
program AND can deliver them to America? 
Also, Please explain to me why we were able to go into Afghanastan, kick butt 
on a group that wanted to fight us and are talibahn AND Al Qaeda, but with 
Iraq we are still fighting and rebuilding. Afghanastan and NK represent the 
most threats to us, but we are spending our resources on Iraq. Worse yet, 
Iraq has the ability to have future resources to rebuild. Afghan does not. 
Nor does NK.
