Here's a question on the WMD.
After the first gulf war, the inspectors went into Iraq. The found, Scuds, Chemical weapons, Biological research, Nuclear research. All these thing were accounted for.
Then, they went hiding. Disappeared. We know for a fact that Saddam Hussien used chemical weapons against: The kurds and the Iranians.
During the 12 or 13 years after the first gulf war, the UN inspectors where trying to find the weapons to get them dismanteled. They couldn't find them. I mean, we're talking about specific serial numbers of scuds.
General Franks was really sure that he would use them against us. Why didn't he? Probably because Hussien himself had "weapons release" authority for chemical weapons. We cut off his communication system so completely that he wasn't able to release them.
Are there still WMD in Iraq? YES, probably hidden in some mountain or in some guys garage. But if Hussien would have helped, he wouldn't have gotten invaded. Are we, as a country to assume that these weapons don't exist? Are we to assume that he won't dump one on Boston or Warwick? NOT AFTER 9/11
