Doesn't change the fact that the "war" against al-queda and Osama is for one reason and the coming war against Sadaam is for another totally different reason.
Who is a bigger threat? Osama and al-queda, the people who carried out 9/11 and who the FBI recently said has now re-organized to the level it was at the time of 9/11, or Saddam who hasn't done jackshit lately except shoot at our planes patrolling the no-fly zone ( a routine that has been going on for almost 8 years). Sure Saddam is a bad guy, I don't think anyone will deny that fact, but there are a lot more evil people out there that are running free and planning shit for the future. That is who we should be concentrating on.
Bush's war on Saddam and Iraq is about one thing. Oil. If you don't believe that you really have your head in the sand.
Remember this saying from Dune? "He who controls the spice controls the universe". Imagine Iraq is Dune and the oil is the spice.

Re-read my post. I don't care who the bigger threat is...they are still a threat. If you don't think Sodom is a threat, you're an idiot (whether because of oil or biological weapons, doesn't matter). Look at what he has done to his own people. Does he like us? No. Is he creating something that could potentially devostate us? Yes. Would he use it in a second? Yes.
And all you fucks who says it's about oil...it may very well be. If so, good. My biggest cost in this business is content. I would hate for my electrical bill to supersede it.
Iraq is a 1984 obscure David Lynch movie? I don't get it.
