Other countries possess weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missiles. With Saddam, there is one big difference: He has used them. Not once, but repeatedly.

Any time someone tells me that the Iraq War was illegal or that the pretext of WMD was created by the Bush-run CIA, I love to remind them of this little nugget of inconvenient truth; before President Bush ever took office, the entire world all agreed that Saddam likely still had chemical and biological weapons, and that he would likely use them whenever an opportunity presented itself.
