I don't think David Kay is going Scott Ritter on us. He was not tasked with searching for WMD in Syria, nor for negotiating the release of these weapons with Syria. He was asked to search in Iraq, and found that they probably aren't there.

Kay can't make the accusation that the WMD are in Syria unless he is absolutely sure and the President is ready to push the issue. The argument that many make is that if we thought they were there, Kay would say it. Not true.

We knew for a year that Libya was developing nuclear capabilities, and didn't say a word publicly. Bush has decided to handle the Syrian issue similarly, through private diplomacy rather than public threats.

Good points.
