OK, what is a weapon of mass destruction. Is saran (sp?) gas a weapon of
mass destruction?


Depends on the quantity - did Saddam have enough to cause "mass
destruction"? No.

Is putting out a hit on the George Bush a threat to America? Is firing
missiles at American fighter pilots a threat?


No! Neither are threats TO AMERICA nor is there any credible evidence that
Saddam's government sanctioned either one. If OzOne or Mooron threaten to
whup me does that make Australia and Canada threats to the US? I don't think
so. If some fustrated Iraqii officer gets fustrated at being bitch-slapped
around by Americans and fires a missile he knows has a near-zero chance of
hitting anything (part of his fustration) does that mean Saddam ordered it?
Not likely! After 'Desert Storm' Saddam knew damn well what would happen to
him if he had and prolly had the perps shot!

Face it, the Village Idiot has nearly bankrupt us to destroy the only
secular government in the region and it did not support Al Quida. The BEST
that can happen now is for it to be replaced by one just like it because
that Saddam's kind of repression is the only way to keep these people from
slaughtering each other but that's not likely. The most likely outcome is a
Shiite theoracy like Iran's that craps on Sunnis and Kurds even worse than
Saddam did and DOES support Al Quida's goals. Worst case is something like
the Taliban had. Gee thanks Georgie Boy!
