If there was clear evidence, the administration would be beaming it on every TV channel of every nation.

I'm not sure what you expect; anytime detailed information like this is disclosed you compromise to some extent your intelligence. When the time comes, I think it is clear that the Administration will make available such information as is necessary to bring others on board; it is premature at this point. It is also premature for these critics to be making any statements of their position on these matters.

Lastly, what is the evidence that Saddam would use it against us?

(1) Is it a prerequisite that WE be the target before we get involved, or would the threat, for example, against Israel be adequate from your perspective?

(2) It is inconceivable to anyone who has paid attention for the last 10 years that Saddam would not use WMD against us provided (a) he has them and (b) he has a delivery method.

It is almost as though you think we should wait and see. Is that your thinking -- let Saddam use a WMD against, for example, NYC or DC, then we'll "pay him back good"? Call me crazy, but this really doesn't seem like a sensible plan to me.
