[William McKinley]

If the WH sold the war just on non-compliance and told us flat out we don't think they have WMD stockpiles

Why the 'and' there?

They sold the war on non-compliance. They also sold the war on them having some WMD and seeking others-- it so happens that many of the non-compliance issues deal with them producing what they had admitted to having so that we could verify their destruction.

They had WMD. That is only in doubt among those trying to discredit the administration for other (read: political) reasons. Where are they? Good question. We need to find them- just as we need to find the caches of rocket propelled grenade launchers that are being used against our troops. Weaponry, unfortunately, is easy to hide.

Listen, I have had enough of a science education background to know that you can't hide thousands of tons of existing WMD stockpiles without a trace. You can hide components and the machines to make them because they are few in number but EXISTING chemical and radiation weapons leave a trace that can be followed.

We can't see upturned dirt from spy satellites? We can and we looked--and we found nothing of existing weaponry. If they were smuggled out--may I ask why the airforce could not see convoys of trucks heading out to Syria? And even this convoy would leave a trace-chemical residue-nuclear residue...traffic jams at border crossings...
