"In its current form, the report reaffirms previous interim findings that there is no evidence that Iraq possessed stockpiles of illicit weapons."
They are intentionally making this a referendum on "stockpiles," ignoring that there have been several instances where actual WMD material has been found...just not on the large quantities that others may have said.
They are also ignoring that Saddam's entire WMD program was in transition, from one of procurement to one of indigenous production...which was far more dangerous.
Since we now at least have an admission that Saddam was waiting for the UN embargo and sactions to end so he could restart his program, can we now address those countries (like France) who were actively working to have the sanctions lifted...and were helping Saddam achieve those goals.
