let's say there where no WMD, even if the French, Russians, Germans,
Saudies, Irealies, US, and every other country with an intelligence
network, had indications that they did.

but lets for get all of that and say it was a big lie, nothing but political
Bull. are you saying that the liberation of a people from a muderious
dictator, was a bad thing, did you know the number of people killed in Iraq
since the end of the war is less then was killed the previous year under
Saddam, and flowing his actions, Libya, who did have an extensive weapons
program, rolled over instantly and gave them up and now we have an Embicy
in Libya for the fist time in how many years?. but if you only watch CNN
you wouldn't know that. looks what going on in Lebanon, Egypt, Iran, and
to some extent Saudi Arabia, the people are starting to demand democory,
and freedom, yes I'm an evil conservite that wants freedom and justice for
all, and if it's in our best national interest, even better, I know it
horrible that I think this way, I'm also happy that Reagan Had the balls to
face down the Russians.

worst case, the president lied and the world is a better place, I can live
with that

Maybe. It's quick to find hidden things when you know where they're
hidden.


Shipped to Syria?


Maybe.

And, something too many people don't understand today, 'maybe'
presupposes 'maybe not' as well. I'm on the side of 'probably not'
since a lot of experienced people looked in a lot of places for a
long
time.

David Kay pointed out that finding the weapons could be extremely
hard so they looked for the factories instead. No factories, no
weapons.

I suppose some will argue that Sadam Husein buried the factories
out in the desert and killed all the people who designed and built
the factories (which would preclude a resumption of production,
and as we know, his WMD with the exception of mustard, were short-
lived) and all the people who worked in the factories and all the
people who buried the factories. The he killed all the people
that killed the other people.

That hypothesis may fall short of completely indisputibly,
impossible but it is surely a lot more improbable than the
obvious one, that Iraq did not resume WMD production and
Sadam Hussein was waiting for the sanctions to be lifted
befor doing so.
