I think this is where your argument falls apart to be honest. When did we find this out? Certainly not from how Sadaam Hussein was acting both leading up to the invasion or the ~10 years prior.
Or are you saying that once we found out we should have then turned around and said sorry, see ya'. All the while that al queda was taking over the country.
