The sweet, yet sad irony of all of this Bush bashing about WMD may become evident right during the election cycle - when you may see either AQ terrorists with WMD via Syria (originally from Iraq), or perhaps Hezbollah terrorists with WMD via Lebanon (originally from Iraq), pull a very dirty surprise on Administration critics and actually use the stuff in a horrible way. There goes John Kerry and anyone on his ticket.

RE. Iraq's WMD, I just saw this article:

(UK)'Ministers saw categoric WMD evidence'

The Government has seen "categoric" evidence that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction, a Cabinet minister has insisted.

Leader of the House of Commons Peter Hain said he and other ministers, including Tony Blair, had seen intelligence showing the ousted dictator had chemical and biological weapons.

He also said weapons inspectors had uncovered evidence of WMD programmes, secret laboratories and "chemical and biological weapons ventures".

But Mr Hain said people should wait for the findings of the Iraq survey group. "I saw evidence that was categoric on Saddam possessing chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction," he said.

He told BBC1's The Politics Show: "I saw that intelligence evidence, so did the Prime Minister, so did other Cabinet ministers. That informed our decision to go to topple him. I think we were right in doing so."

No, such an attack has the opposite effect of boosting Kerry since the media will spin against Bush by saying that Bush was focusing on Iraq when the real threat was from Al Qaeda, - this is the same line of reasoning being touted by the Democrats, many of whom actually "hope" there is another attack by AQ before November.

But...but...Bin Laden is cryogenetically frozen in the WH basement, ready to be thawed in October, right?
