So, where are the WMD?


a) Syria.
b) Iran.
c) buried in the desert in Iraq.
d) all of the above.

Or none of the above.

Trouble with that is, if he didn't have them, then why would he not
cooperate
with the UN inspectors and end the sanctions?


Dictators stay in power, in part, by creating fear of an external
enemy

against whom they make a show of strength.

However, when faced iwth an impending US invasion he knew his show
of strength was just that, all show and no strength. That is why
he DID cooperate with teh UN inspectors in 2002 and 2003.

Can you give us any reason to believe that he did not?
