Plus iraq invasion is a big picture idea to reshjape the region wholesale - so I understand why a "small" politically fearful unimaginiative conservative european leadrship cadre is unable or unwilling to grasp the concept.
Try make up your mind will you... Iraq war has said to been about WMD, now you're mixing it up with the 911.
Saddam hardly was a threat to something else than his own people - he wasnt a dumbarse even if a dictator, he liked living royally and he had even plans for his heirs.
He knew exactly well what would've compromised his luxury status and wasnt either regarded as a zealous muslim, on the opposite.
Too bad for him, he made a miscalculation by invading Kuwait.
I suppose the most WMD which could be found from Iraq, would be the ones which were approved by US and maybe even partly supplied by US.
Lets not forget how Saddam used WMD against Iranians, who took it to UN, where USA vetoed it to save trouble from their dear friend Saddam.
Anyway, sure there was some smaller camps owned by organizations regarded as terrorists, but I'm quite sure you'd find those from all around middle east, so couple small camps are a moot point when the neightboring countries has whole armies.
Amazing what all crap told by the politicians you believe, a true patriot!
