Like you, I believe there was and is ample evidence of WMDs in Iraq. I also believe that we were justified in going in there with or without it. Saddam flaunted the agreements he signed to establish the cease fire from Desert Storm. It was time to make those agreements mean something...long since past time IMHO.
Exactly. Especially because of the mixed signals we were getting from the inspectors. Was it in 1998 that Blix (or the other guy) suggested very strongly that there were some stockpiles still in Iraq that were either not inspected or inspected and not disposed of? Sadam refused to allow the inspectors in after that.
Then all of a sudden the inspector said Iraq was clean, though we were still unable to confirm that and Saddam still wouldn't let the inspectors in. I think that was about the time Saddam hired the inspector to write a book.
