The democraps have egg all over their faces! I never even cared about the WMD issue. Saddam demonstrated that he had WMD when he gassed the Kurds! That was good enough for me. This is good news, though; now maybe the democraps will back off from all this ghastly criticism and obsessing. It was getting pretty boring anyway.

Now they can concentrate on the "leak" controversy. No doubt GWB will survive that one, too, and make the democraps look like the thugs they are.

Saddam demonstrated that he had WMD when he gassed the Kurds!

As much as I hate to endorse a Clinton Administration appointee, I think arms policy
analyst Kenneth Pollack has done the best job of developing the most likely Saddam's
WMD scenario.
Pollack thinks Saddam wisely decided to just keep a capability-based plan --
building pharmceutical plants that could rapidly be reconfigured to make chem/bio WMD
thus saving him the embarassment of inspectors finding actual chem/bio WMD and the
time/cost of building a stockpile of chem/bio WMD that would be slowly degrading all the time anyway.

And Pollack said that even in the months leading up to Operation Iraqi Freedom,
international weapons meetings (China, Russia, France, etc.) all concluded that
Saddam had WMDs...the only question was what to do about Saddam and his toys.

But beyond all this...does anybody really not rejoice at the idea that Uday and
Quasy won't be in charge of even conventional weapons...or the unconventional ones
(tigers, lions and dogs in Uday's case) unleased even on Iraqi citizens?
G-d Save The Planet if Uday had come to power with a couple of tons of anthrax and
other chem/bio WMD.

Me neither. I never thought this was about WMD's'.

Absolutely correct! I KNOW he has WMDs, 'cause he's used them. Duh. This is such a puffed up story, like just about everything else the media does these days.
