"But he said the U.S.'s inability to uncover significant quantities of Iraqi WMDs means that the war may not have been as necessary and urgent as previously believed."

On the other hand, maybe we shouldn't have messed around with the UN for 6 months, giving Saddam plenty of time, to hide/move/destroy the WMD.

Everyone knows he had them. The only question is, what happened to them and when?

"The 'RATS Tories will do anything to make President Bush Prime Minister Blair look bad".

Only one problem with this. If the program was as large as claimed and photo documented, it would have been impossible to move without our satellites seeing it. Small quantities, possibly, but as large as it was being sold, no. Those birds can see the boils on my butt......they certainly can see WMD's being moved.

Everyone knows he had them. The only question is, what happened to them and when?

Agreed. We do know he had them. But if he had them 10 years ago, but not three years ago, then our raids, based on the evidence presented was under a false premise. When pressed on when Saddam last had them, most answers are from years ago. Conservative commentators are now using Clinton's 98 fly over runs as evidence that in 98 people seemed to believe they existed. Only problem with that defense is conservatives claimed at that time Clinton was wagging the dog and it was 5 years ago. So they are saying that what was a false premise is now proof they existed? Remember, when Clinton's raids occurred, we said it was wagging the dog. And how much has changed in the world in the last 5 years. Hardly a valid time comparison.
