Saddam was never a serious threat to us. He tried to pull stuff. And we would catch him and shut him down. And even igf you want to make a case for going after Saddam. There was no reason we had to rush. You guys never address all of the early indications the administration was trying to make the connection. You have everyone from Paul O'Niell to Richard Clarke saying they were specifically itching to find a Iraqi connection.
Now given the history. If I was just guessing who was behind 9-11 I would have said Libya at the time. I didn't know about Bin Ladin. But I did know about the flight they bombed over Scotland. Even though Saddam was a dick. It wasn't his M.O.
