And .. just to clarify .. I - personally - consider WMD to mean anything that can hurt a lot of people at one time - which a bullet from a gun cannot do - unless it's a machine gun.
I would say for staters what you or I "consider" WMD's is a mute point - Everyone who is willing to be intellectually honest knows what "WMDs" meant in terms of what we (and the GWB Administration) were expecting to find in Iraq. - That being bio & chemical related weapons.
As for what could have been leaving Iraq. Everything from tooling machines (which are very expensive) to art work, to high-Iraqi officials personal belongings, etc, etc, ect.
And I suspect quite a bit of it was conventional weapons related as well - Equipments, ammo, guns, etc.
Additionally what is never pointed out enough - Is that Saddam certainly had all the tools to begin a WMD program on short notice. He simply didn't have one up and running (and producing) WMD's like we suspected he had (but the MSM ignore this fact all the time!).
"... Saddam certainly had all the tools to begin a WMD program on short notice. He simply didn't have one up and running ..."
And .. I believe that's basically what David Kay and the most recent guy have both said.
So .. could that mean Saddam was just waiting for the sanctions to be lifted in order to begin the WMD processing again ..?? It seems to point that direction.
