You seem to be blurring the sequence of events.

Hussein was not a threat.

We took him out, and devastated the country.

THEN.......

Ungrateful armed Islamic insurgents started a war.

The intelligence did show that Saddam was trying to make WMD's. It also showed that he was decades away from anything really fitting the M of WMD. If it was about WMD's, we really fucked up by going to Iraq instead of Iran.

Those chemical and biological weapons he was using against his own people.
The USA sold him those weapons.

Come the fuck on man. You agree that it was obvious Saddam had a desire to acquire these weapons. He was a long way off from making them...maybe.

Does it make sense to you, that it would never have occured to Mr. Hussein to try and purchase the weapons?

How long would that take? Was he decades away?

Those chemical and biological weapons he was using against his own people.
The USA sold him those weapons.

So?
