Hans Blix said that Saddam had WMDs. The whole security council at the precious UN said that Saddam had WMDs. Are both these saviors of the left LYING?

Like most others I believe Saddam had them. However, only Bush and the neocons kept insisting that the threat was so immediate that inspections were a dangerous waste of time. If you asked the families of the nearly 200 Americans who have lost their lives in Iraq since March, I'm sure at least some of them would say they wouldn't have wanted their loved ones sent over if they knew in advance that no WMDs would be found more than two months after the fall of Baghdad.

Check out George Will's article "The Bush Doctrine at Risk." Every additional day we fail to find weapons in Iraq chips away at the logic of the preemptive war doctrine, just as every additional day we don't attack Iran and North Korea - which pose far greater WMD threats than Iraq did - weakens the doctrine's practical viability.
