That mathematical equation meant that some WMD were left over, no matter what these guys wrote in their report. It makes more sense to me to believe that the leftover WMD were flown or trucked out of the country, rather than everyone in Iraq from bottom to top was able to coordinate somehow to tell the exact same lies about nonexistent WMD.

Lefties want to discredit the war because there wasn't unbreakable evidence of WMD. A reasonable doubt, they say, should have meant we wouldn't invade. But that equation just won't go away, and with a reasonable suspicion that the madman possessed WMD, we had to take action to disarm him. There's no need to build elaborate theories like this one when we have solid international intelligence telling us that the WMD were there. So as others have said, this story sounds fishy to me too.

Or just throw them away. Once you have the knowledge of how to make them, 99% of the work is over. It is kind of like not having to carry a cake around since you know how to bake one if you want one.

Anyone remember this article by CNN the Communist News Network?

http://www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/06/25/sprj.irq.centrifuge/index.html

The CIA has in its hands the critical parts of a key piece of Iraqi nuclear technology -- parts needed to develop a bomb program -- that were dug up in a back yard in Baghdad, CNN has learned.

The parts, with accompanying plans, were unearthed by Iraqi scientist Mahdi Obeidi who had hidden them under a rose bush in his garden 12 years ago under orders from Qusay Hussein and Saddam Hussein's then son-in-law, Hussein Kamel.

First of all, I have yet to get a logical answer as to what that miles-long caravan of 18-wheelers trucking to Syria contained. It was picked up on satellite a few months before we invaded Iraq. And yes, Saddam had all the time in the world to get rid of the evidence.

And even IF Saddam no longer had the WMDs in his possession, he could always get WMDs again since he was working hand-in-hand under the table with the UN, France, Russia and who knows what other countries. Ergo, the need for taking Saddam out of the equation via regime change.

So... I totally agree with you.
