[quote name='bmulligan']If there were no WMD's then WHY didn't Saddam stop shaq-fuing with the inspection process. If I could print myu own money and stay in one of a hundred presidential palaces, I'd invite all those inspectors in for tea and cookies, whenever they wanted.[/quote]
Because Saddam was a corrupt, lying, stupid shaq-fuing thug. He didn't want anyone snooping around his palaces because he was afraid of what they would find. He was skimming off millions of dollars from the Oil for Food program, so he didn't want that found out. Ditto for him torturing his own people. Dictators rule by fear so he wanted the rest of the world to think he had WMD's (I never said he was smart).
As a liberal, I'll admit that Saddam was a horrible, disgusting human being. Now will conservatives admit he had no WMD's, wasn't funding terrorists, had no ties to al Qaida, and was no threat to the US?
