Saddam worked secretly on WMDs
Saddam Hussein's goal through the 1990s and until the 2003 U.S. invasion was to end U.N. sanctions on Iraq, while working covertly to restore the country's ability to produce weapons of mass destruction, a report by the chief U.S. weapons inspector says. This report is actually a vindication of Bush's arguments for war. Saddam presented a threat that was not imminent, but which would have become imminent as soon as the sanctions were removed and inspections ceased. And, in fact, this report supports exactly that point. Saddam was prepared to resume production of biological agents immediately following the collapse of the sanctions. And after over a decade of hostillty, can there be any doubt that Saddam would have felt free to share those weapons with terrorists to enable a strike on the US? The real question now, however, is not about Iraq. We must finish our task there, of course, but that is a long term concern. A far more pressing problem is that of North Korea and Iran, and specifically their nuclear programs. |
