As you said, that statement makes zero sense at all. If the administration knows about WMD, it would go a long way to ensuring that Democrats are kept out of power for decades.

Sorry Peach, gotta disagree here. Hiding the WMD was the only way that the RATS wouldn't create a global scare and blame it on Bush.

Let's say there were WMD and Bush in 2004 came out with "we found warehouses filled with the stuff." The RATS then come out and say, "how do we know we got them all? Maybe the terrorists got some and we cannot account for it." That would cause a scare and the RATS talking point would be that if we kept Saddam in check rther than attacked, terrorists wouldn't now have WMD.

I believe that the US and Russia had the stuff crated and sent back to Russia for destruction, using Syria as a storage facility. This way, the Israelis could monitor it. Bush knew he was going to win Ohio so taking the hit about "No WMD" wouldn't matter. Especially now since it wa recently reported that there were WMD, this takes the 2006-2008 "Bush Lied" talking point away.
