I'd like to know what it takes to be a "smoking gun." The Patriots shoot down scuds. Now these are illegal weapons caught in flight. I'd call that a smoking gun.

The good guys rout an Al Qaeda base in Iraq. If that isn't a link to exported terrorism, I'd like to know what is.

One of these chemical finds will surely turn out to be the real deal. Yet, how much more smoke is required? Can we count on the nay sayers in the end suggesting they haven't found enough, or big enough smoking guns? I guess we know full well you can't justify this as simply the opportunity to eradicate a source of evil in the world.

It's a moving target.

It used to be that Saddam was supposed to show us his WMD.
Then it was: We had to find the WMD.
Then it was: He had to use the WMD.
Then it was: We had to suffer casualties caused by WMD used by Saddam.

I'm pretty sure that if US soldier die in a VX attack, the spin will be that the use of VX was justified, because we invaded their country.
