As apparently are you. The first bomb hit BEFORE the supposed deadline.
And you couldn't be more correct, in a manner of speaking, which just proves a whole lot of points about the insanity of this all:

"Yeah we started a whole war to kill one fucking man...how stupid is that."

So are you now in fact saying this war was not started because of one man, that man being Saddam Hussein. Odd, I thought that's what you've been saying all along.
