The thing I've never really understood is how the administration got away with telling us what a grave danger Saddam Hussein was in the wake of Hussein's regime falling apart as soon as we went in. If Hussein's military capabilities were such a danger to us, why didn't he use those capabilities to save his regime? The "war" was a cakewalk for us and Husssein himself was found hiding in a hole.

What makes no sense is that a man who was a threat to our way of life, and who knew for months that his country would be attacked, had so little defense for the invasion. What sense would hiding his weapons in Syria make? When would he be able to use them?

I'm not saying our reasons for going to war were good, however, the Bush administration wasn't arguing that Hussein was a danger to us because he had a strong army that could invade America. The justification was that he had WMD, and could provide them to terrorists.
