I have to say it again

An episode of The Daily Show last week reminded me of something that really bugs the shit out of me.

Saddam Hussein and Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. He had no ties to Al-Qaeda. He was not giving them weapons. He had no WMDs to give. He was not giving them safe haven. He was a nonsectarian Stalin-esque dictator to whom militant Islam was a threat, not an ally. He was not a threat to our freedom. Yes, the hated the U.S. No, he did not attack us or help anyone to attack us. I am sure he was glad it happened, but then he had once put a bounty on Dubya's daddy's head.
