Short summary of long answer Ty.
If W pulled the plug on a sure hit to take out a guy we knew was an al queda tied threat, and pulled the plug only because W wanted to tell the world the existance of the guy in Iraq was further justification for attacking Iraq, then I would be outraged.
You are several steps away from that though.
First, when you think sure hit, remember the 2 sure hits on Saddam during the war. Second, deciding not to take an early strike into a soverign country because it might reduce our liklihood of convincing people they should join in a coalition is a fundamentally different animal then not doing it because you want to say he's still there.
Ty, your point is his group mostly killed Iraqis, not Americans. When you say mass-murdered, keep in mind he doesn't equal Uday- the college years. But if it was proven that the hypo of my 1st paragraph were true, I'd be pissed.
Note also, when we did blow up a car with a guy who was part of the Cole bombing, in Yeman, the liberals on this board were shocked that W would go so far as to act in a way that does not give the man who killed dozens of US sailors due process. If W had okay'd the assination of this guy, would you have brought up due process isssues?
