I think we are paying for it now-Saddam was the perfect person to control terrorism-I think we kinda see now why someone like him rose to power. I don't think the next leader of Iraq will be a nice guy either. Thanks to the Chickenhawk neo-cons for this War,

Way to gather a single fact and wrap your analysis around it and call it reality. Bin Laden may have hated Saddam, but it's not like they were polar opposites. They both wanted similar things - the destruction of Israel and the US. The biggest difference between them was that Saddam had a country to run, not just a military organization. Also, Bin Laden hated Saddam for his flashy lifestyle. Saddam was good at keeping insurgents at bay within his country because they knew that he'd kill them and their families if they fought. We found that out the hard way after the first Gulf War when we persuaded some Iraqis to fight with us only to leave them to their fate when we decided not to remove Saddam from power once he withdrew from Kuwait. Control terrorism? He funded it! You need to research the difference between terrorists and insurgents.

Well, that's a mighty big claim.
Got any evidence to back it up? Are we supposed to believe this because YOU said so?
Because there is both testimony and documentary evidence that clearly shows that Saddam's intelligence agencies had developed contacts and a relationship with Al Qaeda dating back to the early 1990's.
So, unless you bring some proof, I will have to consider you to be untruthful in addition to juvenile and contemptuously smarmy and insulting.
Nobody of any intellectual worth would use a word like "chickenhawk".

As the leading authority on neoconchickenhawknodaheads, the answer is, so what? They are both evil and we are going to flush this little coward out of his hole, and kill him too!
