9/11 caused a different way of thinking about Islamic terrorists and the threats to the US. Sh was an Isamlic terrorist who had used WMD before and had shown aggresssion by invading Kuwait. SH had made it clear he would attack the US if he could and he had attacked an ally of the US and US planes in the no fly zones. So, it was logical to say "hmmmmmm - maybe we ought to see if SH really has those WMD after all because we now know the US can be attacked on its own soil" --- I wish you would explain to me how that is a huge leap of logic or in any way wrong.

Again, if SH had complied for the prior decade, none of this would have happened. Yet, you assign no fault to him. Only W and never Clinton.
