What if it turns out Saddam didn't have weapons of mass destruction?

Then he is the stupidest man in the world to loose his country and his seat of power over something he didn't have.

Of course he had them. They'll be found.

This article is ridiculous.

Yes, but the premise of the article is that Saddam believed he had usable weapons of WMD's, because his own people told him so. Interesting notion.

Exactly, he sure went out of his way to make it appear that he did have them. We all heard how Saddams hynchmen were wire tapped and the things they said between themselves, like, "I can't believe they didn't see that", or, "did you hide this or that?".

If it was some kind of strategic mind game Saddam was playing in his drug deluded mind, he lost. The man was a druggy and an addict, there is no real telling how great his self delusion was telling him how things were going in his favor. The very fact that he stood in the way of weapons inspectors strongly suggested he was hiding WMD's.

Personally, I believe Syria has them, I have said from the begining they are a snake that bears watching. I would be one happy camper if we rolled on Syria next instead of Liberia. Who gives a care if they act aggressively towards us or not? No one but drowining democrat rat politicians desperately trying to find any debris left from their ship wrecked party to hold onto.
