"What suicide bombers came from Iraq? What evidence do you have shows that Iraq is the center of any global threat to us. I'll even make it easier - Could you name one time Saddam has threatened the US directly?"

Please, don't make it too easy.

1. In June of 2002 Saddam praised the suicide bombers and offered a reward to any family who's family member committed a suicide bombing.

2. http://www.newsmax.com/showinside.shtml?a=2002/12/12/134649
suggests that administration has proof of iraq providing nerve gas to Al Qaeda

3. Saddam threatened to kill Bush senior in a public speech. Also in the June speech (which I tried to find on the internet, but so far have been unable - will post as soon as I do) wished death to America. He also tried to draw the rest of the Moslem world by remarks against Israel.

4. The biggest threat of Saddam is in his desire to get nuclear weapons and (unlike North Korea) he wants to use them....

what he has now:
