Regarding WMD - we know he had them because he used them

Of course he used them!! Back in the 1980s when the current administration turned its head instead of turning Iraq in to the UN. War between Iraq and Iran was still going on and the current administration backed Iraq.

Did you know that all the intelligence agencies for the nations on the Security Council at the UN believe he had them and thus the 17 resolutions that dealt specifically with WMD.

Maybe you should ask yourself if I care. Maybe even better you should ask yourself why do you care about resolutions going on in an organization most conservatives want out of in the first place

Why do you think Hussein chose war rather than reveal their whereabouts? Why do you think Hussein chose war rather than permit the UN inspectors free access?

Hmmmmm, let's see, to save face? I know that may come as another shock to you but he didn't want to lose face in the Middle East. So let's see, stand up to the administration, allow war to come, have a definite exit strategy, make the US look less than perfect when no WMDs were found, and appear as a martyr and loved one to all the Islamic kooks out there. Nah, that would take actual thought and from the reponses on this thread the only ones capable of rational thought are President Bush and the PNAC

The only one of your theories I'll both to debunk is the one that Saddam used WMD in the 80's - as though that were the last time. It wasn't the last time. He used them in the 90's after Gulf War I.

And BTW, if Saddam was trying to lose face rather than let in UN inspectors, I guess he lost that face because he isn't the LEADER anymore and is hiding or dead. How much more face can he lose? His sons are dead, he has no palace, no $$, nothing.
