We know he had WMDS, we just don't know what he did with them. My guess is the Bekaa but it could just as well be a rathole somewhere.

Please take notice that I said that the question was did he have WMDs in recent years. We all know that he had them in the 80's and early 90's. The US supplied them. Continuing to fudge the question by saying he had them without regard to when is disengenious, at best.

After many months of looking we see no evidence that he had any, at least since 1998. He certainly did not use any to defend himself during our invasion-Blair's 45 minute claim notwithstanding.

It is now pretty obvious that there were no WMDs to endanger us when we attacked. Any assertion otherwise bears the burden of proof-you are the one claiming the inprobable. We do need to know if the president lied or was fooled and we have to stop the silly defense of Bush in the face of the facts.

It behooves the Republican Party to determine the truth honestly and openly to protect the party's reputation and to get us a 4 year gridlock rather than a 4 year socialist hell.

Obvious only to the willfully blind and assorted ideologues.

Not really, you see I have seen all the proof I need to see that Hussein had the capability, the motive and the will to put WMD into the hands of those with suicidal tendencies. The burden of proof in my eyes has been met and exceeded.

We do need to know if the president lied or was fooled and we have to stop the silly defense of Bush in the face of the facts.

Lets put it this way, if you are calling the President a liar, then I think you're a liar. If you are calling him a dupe then I think you are the one being duped.

There is ample evidence of WMD programs, thus far no stockpiles. No biggie except that the inventory may have transferred ownership and now resides with jihadists of the first order.

The WMDeadenders are far more concerned about their 'agenda' than they are about any re-election for Bush, the success of conservatism at home, and the moral legitimacy of American conservatism in the world.
