The Jolt, please provide examples of Saddam "financing terrorsts". "Probably" is not good enough to justify aggressive war, especially when you offer no durable evidence that the US was directly threatened.

Are you saying that the U.S. was directly threatened by Saddam offering a "Palestinian Bounty", to the point that a case could be made for invading Iraq because the bounty he paid to Palestinian suicide bombers in a longstanding territorial and political conflict in Israel and in the occupied Palestinian territories could legitimately described as a threat to U.S. national security that rose to a level that necessitated the invasion and occupation of Iraq?
