The interesting thing about this revelation is that Joe Wilson's op-ed in the San Jose Mercury-News contended:
a, Saddam had WMD.
b. And he would use them.
That was Ol' Joe's argument against Gulf War II before it began. But, by April, he had changed his tune -- and his facts.
Good point!! I was thinking that reference was to some later piece by Wilson, but BEFORE the war his argument was emphatically that Saddam would use WMDs on our troops and so if we didn't absolutely have to depose Saddam then we should just continue to 'contain' him......... of course, no mention of Saddams fervent support of terrorism, which as we have been learning extended to training thousands of jihadist in camps in Iraq and an ongoing relationship with Al Qaeda that is NOT insignificant (even if Saddam had not actually sponsored or ordered any attacks through them, he could do so at any time).
