1. Was SH not a terror threat himself? Or to his people?
2. Did he not use WoMD on the Kurds to prove he was capable?
3. Did we just overlook the fact that al-quadi are located in Iraq?

1. Al'Qaida attempted to assasinate him once - so yes he was threatened with 'terrorism'.
2. No, he used WMD on the Kurds because some callous idiot caused them to rise up against Saddam - and then abandoned them to their fate.
3. No the US didn't overlook that Al'Qaida was located in an area
protected by the US/UK and where Saddam could therefore not get at them. It suited the US to have this 'enemy within', hoping that they would repeat their previous attempts to assassinate members of the Iraqi regime.

Well now that there have been suicide vests found (Baghdad) and supposed terrorist training facilities (Basra), the shift has gone back to terrorism.

We are talking about a war and so far the suicide bombings in Iraq have been aimed purely at military personnel - therefore they are not acts of terrorism. Are we also rewriting history to redefine the Japanese Kamakaze pilots of WWII as 'Terrorists' too?
As for the training facilities, why are they 'terrorist' training factilities rather than military ones?
