I am not forgetting anything...and if I do, feel free to add it in. Why don't you tell me what you expect in terms of WMD outcome? For example, if we don't find any of the mobile chem labs, will we continue to look for them forever? Will we consider our assumptions flawed? If we do find them, will we consider it a win? How many should we find? What if rather than stopping its proliferation, somehow they all end up in terrorist hands? Will we consider the operation a failure then? Or will we just conclude this was going to happen anyway? What if Saddam decides now that he is going to be attacked no matter what, he is going to fire every 100 of the long ranged missiles into a highly concentrated area in Kuwaitie desert and kill most of our troops (or into Israel)? Is that part of the expectations for the war?

My point is, I don't care if you are for or against the war. If you think it is a good idea, you should be able to define parameters by which you can judge its benefits. If you think it is a bad idea, again you should be able to give a range of the negative outcomes that can come from it. That way we will have a way to judge this war.

PS The anthrax you mentioned was made in America and not from an Iraqi source. That there has been zero, zilch, nada progress on who and how it happened is one of the failures of this administration. They have been so empty on this, that they don't even mention it anymore.
