That is my take on this situation.
We went to war to remove Saddam and to remove the threat of a Nuclear Chemical or Biological Armed Iraq.
The fact there were no WMD found in Iraq has had a major world wide impact on the continuation of the War on Terror.
Our Intelligence agencies have been made to look like idiots at best liars at worst.
It has been a thorn in the side of many governments who want to support the war on terror more fully.
If this is true it is up to the President to go live with this information, citing dates,timings movements and locations.
"re :The obvious question is if we know where they are why haven't we done anything to confiscate them."
Look at the politics. If I was a RAT operative if we found them in Lebanon I would go nuts and say how do we know we have them all? In Iraq we knew where they were and Hussein was isolated. That would not only scare people it would embolden the terrorists.
It was politically cheaper for Bush to know that they are secure out of country. Remember, he did the right thing and has the law on his side. All the RATS have is conjecture, innuendo and lies that could all be disproven.
