Saddam didn't comply

Even the U.N. was against him because they required their presence at the destruction of the weapons, as he claimed he did, in order to verify. The inspectors were shut out by Saddam for purposes of verification and were ushered out by Iraq in the days before the invasion. They never got to verify his claim, and he never allowed them. Their destruction is still not verifiable. They're not there, but that doesn't mean they don't exist. He could have smuggled them out, or buried them somewhere in the desert. We may never know.

Well I do. I'd much rather shoot first and ask questions later than to have another atrocity enacted on U.S. soil. Remember, after 9/11 there was a lot of pressure to prevent another attack. It was time for us to be proactive instead of reactive.
