how was sadam a threat with no wmds, navy, air force, weak army,etc?

Question

we should have kept our military resources in afghanistan and we would have bin laden by now, the real threat to the u.s.and the person that attacked our country, but i forgot bin laden has no oil.

Answer 1

He threatened the Exxon Protectorate of Saudi Arabia. Contrary to what both Liberals and Conservatives tell you to think, Saddam wanted to be independent of OPEC's production quotas and pump as much oil as he liked, which would have driven crude prices down and gouged into Exxon's huge and unreported profits.

Exxon created OPEC. Exxon directs OPEC. Exxon protects OPEC. OPEC finances terrorism. Exxon is treason.

Answer 2

19 people brought down 3 buildings, took almost 3000 lives, and cost the economy over 1 million jobs.

Do you seriously have to ask how a man with control of 25 million people, billions in oil money, and a history of using WMD was a threat? Just imagine if Osama had the resources that Sadam had. If you put just a tiny bit of thought to the matter, it is not hard to imagine the catastrophic damage someone like Saddam could do.

Answer 3

Sadam was a threat because we could not have our inspectors verify that he did not have WMDs. He was a sadistic dictator who hated America and we would have had to confront him eventually, I think better on our timetable. The plan was to plant the seeds of democracy in Iraq and therefore cause the people of Iran to pressure their government for democracy. This would have stabilized the Middle East substantially. Whenever you have a madman, as in Iran right now, there is a threat because they are unstable and highly motivated to hurt us by any means. We cannot have America being attacked like on 9/11 on a regular basis or at all if we can help it.

Answer 4

Saddam is faster than Jackie Chan. He flew those planes into the towers and parachuted out of the first one flew his rocket pack to the second plane and then piloted it into the other tower.

After the initial explosion he surfed the rubble wave down to ground Zero. Disguised as a fireman he was out of sight in minutes. Back in the air and on his way to the pentagon.

Saddam is no ordinary villain he is a Super "X" dictator with WMD Super Power.

Thank G-d the GWB took him out for the good of America and the freedom loving people of Iraq.

All rise and Salute the Flag Mission Accomplished.

Go big Red Go

Answer 5

Saddam Hussein of course had at least the 450,000 tons of high explosive munitions that we captured early in the second U.S. invasion of Iraq. He also had at least the 500 artillery shells loaded with nerve, mustard and sarin gas that have been documented since that time, plus those that were smuggled into Syria and are likely to be used now by Hezbollah. No use counting the ones he used to massacre the Kurdish people. His army was strong enough prior to Desert Storm that, according to General Colin Powell in his book "My American Journey" that Powell believed Saddam could have taken Saudi Arabia as well as Kuwait.

Answer 6

Let me try this one more time for the intellectually challenged. Every country in the UN backed the U.S. in going to war. The sanctiuons were not working because a top aid to Saddam said he personally witnessed the weapons being moved to Syria just after the start of the war.

Guess who we are fighting over there? Al Qaida. Pres. Bush said we will root out terrorists no matter where they are. They are in Iraq. We are fighting them. Idiots. Al Zaqahri was a leader of Al Qaeda, and there were members of Al Qaeda there before we were.

Answer 7

Another typical weak minded question from the liberal sheep - they phrase the question in an attempt to sound so righteous and high minded - and they leave out crucial details - that Saddam was responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Kurds and other Iraqis. Beyond that - the best reason to go after him as he was a major sponsor of terror networks all over the world. The sheep don't tell you that - they only want you to know what sounds best to them... The truth is inconsequential to the sheep.

Answer 8

Oooooooh. He was such a threat

Okay, you drum banging, banner waving NeoCretins. Why the hell are you not pushing to invade Iran or N. Korea, which are actually a greater threat now than Saddam ever was then?

Answer 9

Is that all that you brainiacs cling to, Bin Laden? That is all a Democrat pursues, Bin Laden, while the tens of thousands of terrorists blow people up?

Answer 10

Don't you think the gvt. knew Saddam Hussein had no WMD's, and that's why he was attacked? No wonder Iran is making a bomb, no wonder No. Korea has some. The US reputation for being a peaceful country was very useful, very valuable. Oh well......
