That he has disarmed. There are still tons of unaccounted for chemical agents *somewhere*. Have they been destroyed? Why would someone destroy them without having some documentation and proof that they were. As far as I know, Saddam hasn't even tried to prove they were destroyed. He just says they're gone. I believe the same goes for bio agents.
Even if you arent in favor of the war, given the track record of Saddam, arent you the least bit curious where these items are? Why would he destroy them without sufficient proof for the UN inspectors to verify his word? Did he think we would believe him alone in this current trend of terrorism?
There are of course, two camps in the political battle over this war. The one that believes Saddam can't or wont hand off WOMD to Al-Qeada and the other believes that he *couldn't pass up* the opportunity and certainly will. There are are significant numbers on both sides. I appreciate your opinion and the non confrontational/accusitory way you present it. I think Saddam will use the WOMD that he *doesnt have* (wink,wink) to assist in attacks we have never seen here in the US. Al-Qeada doesn't need WOMD to attack us, but if they had them they could easily kill us. What other country would supply them to AQ? N Korea? China? France? It seems obvious to me that Iraq is the most logical target at this time.
I truly believe that we are not getting the whole story. It may be years from now, only after Chris Ruddy writes a series of conspiracy books, that we know the truth.
