Oddly enough, you are wrong. Shortly after GHWB (#41) got voted out of
office, Saddam sent an assasination team across the Canadian border in
order to have him assasinated. If you were paying attention to the news
at this point, you'd recall a press conference by Clinton detailing
this fact.

Oddly enough, you are wrong again. If you'd read Lorie McElroy's latest
book, you'd see that there is ample evidence that Mohammed Atta
received significant intelligence support from Saddam's regieme, and
traveled to Iraq in this capacity, as well as meeting with a known
Iraqi intelligence operative in Prague, as the Czech intel service has
repeatedly stated to the deaf ears of european media.
The same people who marched against our actions in Gulf War I, and have
subsequently been proven incredibly wrong, stupid, short sighted,
cowardly, ill-informed, and willfully used by enemies of the US in that
regard, are taking up the banners again for the same forces of
international ignorance and luddism.
