I believe he had a policy of giving terrorists safe haven and passage through his country, his safe harbor of Abu Nidal is enough, in my mind, to make him a legitimate target in the War on Terror. Certainly he had a policy of funding terrorists, eg: $25K post-mortem rewards to the families of Pali homocide bombers.

Yeah, I remember that being exactly the rationale that Bush & Co. advanced.

I believe that the WSJ has detailed some interesting links to the OKC bombing that have never been explored. I believe that he had WMDs and that they probably ended up in Syria.

Let me guess -- was this on the editorials page?

All in all, I think Bush is remiss in not going after Saudi Arabia, which, along with Syria and Iran are far more egregious terrorist states, but I don't think that invalidates his selection Iraq as a legitimate target. I applaud our successes and expect ultimate victory.

No doubt you are willing to wait the 12 years Rummy (now) says that will take.
Or did you mean the ultimate victory we had when Bush declared our mission Accomplished?
