Fredman,

You stated: "There were lots of folks who stated that even though intelligence pointed to the real possibility of Sadam being a threat they would not be for invasion."

A more accurate way to say it was that there were lots of folks who stated then, and now, that intelligence never did point to the real possibility of Sadam being a threat. Again, this is not hind sight. The question, then, is were they correct, and are they still correct?
