"Do you have anything, in any report from the inspectors during the run-up to the war, that says they believed Saddam Hussein didn't have any weapons programs?"

Ya mean other than they didn't find any evidence of approaching imminent mushroom clouds?

[WhistlingPastTheGraveyard]

I didn’t ask you if they found Saddam’s weapons. I asked you to back up your assertion that the inspectors on the ground didn’t believe he ever had them.

Thank you for your service in WWII.

If you give someone (Saddam Hussein) a year’s head start, I’m pretty sure he can transport the WMD to a nearby Baathist state, such as, oh, I don’t know, let’s say...Syria.
