Apparently, the author of this piece did not get the talking points memo. The new story is: 'no WMDs have been found, but WMDs may yet be found, but even if their not found, it doesn't matter.'

Which happens to be entirely correct. Chem and bio weapons are somewhat ephemeral. They degrade and must be periodically or continually produced. The programs to produce the weapons were the key point, and they were what Saddam was trying to preserve above all.

Precisely, and I'm seeing plenty of evidence that he had programs or the capability to start them up when the heat was off. Furthermore, it has to be pointed out that after 9/11, the prudent thing to do was to assume the worst and ACT on that basis.

In a way I am pleasantly surprised that we have NOT found massive amounts. I do worry that Saddam passed them on to other countries or to terrorist groups, but at the same time, it looks like we acted in time, before it got worse.

So is the author of this piece the liar or the other authors?
