So in other words the message is "If we had eventually let up on the sanctions and looked away*, then he would have started his weapons program and been quickly succesful**, and then he might*** have given the weapons to terrorists"?
*The US was not going to let up on the sanctions so this all falls apart right off the bat. Nobody was going to be "looking away" any time soon.
** Knowing the ruin that country was in, and for some strange reason everyone dropped the sanctions and "looked away" it would have been a hell of a long time before they were operational and pumping out poison. How many years do you think it would be until everyone started ignoring a dictator in the Middle East? I'll guess "lots of years". Then the acquisition and the buildup begins.
***Maybe. Probably not. George knows full well that Osama and the boys were not too fond of Saddam. I don't know if he'd give his "sworn enemy" the means to end his own life/regime
In other words, what a crock.
