Really how so? Is that not what you were implying? Or what was your point exactly? Besides the claim that Sadam being not guilty of some small subset accusations targeting him somehow changes anything?
Even in 2003 that wasn't anywhere close to being the primary reason.

That doesn't change those facts...
Are you saying that Saddam didn't commit the atrocities that he did because US government said he did?
