"I have a question for you - Are the items and programs Dr. Kay found in violation of the UN 1441 resolution?"

1441 violations - yes.

WMDs known before conflict beginning - where are they now? And, I don't think a program = actual weapons. A JIT strategy is not the same as having assembled & ready to use weapons. Calling for a cab & having your own car parked in the garage are not the same, especially if all you have is a phone number for a cab company.
I'm basically a cynic & doubting Thomas, that's all. I don't beleive in Santa or the Great Pumpkin, either.

1441 violations - yes.

Stop right there. The war is justified by those 1441 violations.

Thanks for your "direct" answer. And no thanks for your "indirect" blur from the rest of your post.

"A JIT strategy is not the same as having assembled & ready to use weapons."

No sh*t, Sherlock. Why in the world would Saddam have chosen to operate this way? Hmmm... to try to get around earlier sanctions, and to have a little plausable deniability? C'mon FoM, I don't really believe you don't understand Saddam's culpability here.
