"... 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.
Without a doubt this was the case - And anyone who is willing to be intellectually honest would have to admit it (that is why Dem's and the MSM don't!...because the refuse to be intellectually honest).
The situation with regard to Saddam's WMD's - Is that we thought that he not only had all the capabilities to produce WMD's....we thought he *was* currently producing WMD's - This does not appear to be the case.
But in the grand scheme of things it is relatively a mute point - (other than the fact that our CIA didn't have a clue - but what is new there).
