"with WMD that didn't exist"

THIS IS THE BIGGEST FATTEST LIE OF ALL. Just because Saddam was successful at hiding his WMD .. doesn't mean IT DOESN'T EXIST.

Precisely. Remember, on the eve of the Gulf War in 1991, what did Saddam do with one of his most important military assets, his air force? He transferred it completely to Iran. Why wouldn't he do exactly the same thing prior to the start of Op. Iraqi Freedom? Everyone -- us, the Brits, the French, the Germans, the Russians, the Chinese, the UN -- acknowledged that Saddam had WMDs. David Kay and his group have found an infrastructure (labs, personnel, etc.) of an active WMD program. Why would Saddam keep around the capability to produce bio- and chemical weapons if he'd decided to destroy them all after Gulf War I? These naysayers never address that. Fact: He had the capability to produce WMD. Fact: No WMD have been found. Conclusion: He either hid them so well that they may not be found for years, or he shipped them to neighboring states. Oh, there are WMD all right, and the fact that we haven't actually located them is the troubling thing.
