That's not what I'm saying. I know we're going after him. I just think that giving him our FULL attention would have given him to us a long time ago. As most people have been saying that Saddam is far down teh list of people who are threats to our country.
We'll agree to disagree about if he had them or not. Personally I don't think he had the ability to grab them w/o us knowing and since we've been bombing him for the past few years, he was bottled up. Now, us going to match up with him again was going to come later on because I believe he was going to get the gonads to actually CHALLENGE us down the road, but he was just a small mini-midget dictator who can only bully his people. His army didn't even belong on the same field as most urban gangs.
Saddam wasn't a HUGE threat to us.

The 9/11 commission said that he was definitely stockpiling the resources to build WMD. He had every intention of doing so. Combine that with your assertion that he was eventually going to grow the gonads to challenge us down the road and we have justification to the Bush doctrine.
With WMD and this guy, you could count on invasions of Kuwait and Iran eventually. Possibly Jordan and Syria.
His army (for the region) was probably the strongest.
