They’re not evidence that Saddam Hussein was, as proponents of the war contended, in the process of resuming chemical-weapons production or starting other WMD programs.

Untrue. According to the article Saddam HAD purchased precursors after the ban. But no sense letting that get in the way of the narrative...

But on the other hand, as the existence of thousands of hidden or mislabeled chemical-weapons munitions reported in Chivers’s article could suggest, Saddam was clearly not complying with United Nations requirements about exposing and dismantling his chemical-weapons stores.

The last sentence WAS casus belli. Has everyone in the media forgotten that?

[MrB]

This is similar to the way the ‘rats treated the vandalism of the white house in 2001, though the vandalism was less serious than chemical weapons to be sure...

When Bush decided not to press the issue, the ‘rats then started crowing that there was no damage and calling people liars for saying there was.

You can’t give these people ANY grace. Seriously. They have to be destroyed.

If we didn’t have the will to do it, we never should have gone in.

Agreed.
