I think in case (b) if he had them he would certainly have deployed. Certainly his track record suggests such.

A great deal of effort went into efforts to persuade the generals who would have had to carry out such orders, not to do so.

Not a bad point. But then had the generals had them, it's hard to imagine they generals who knew about them or the weapons themselves would have been difficult to find.

I now think that whatever justifications the Bush folk wish to invoke for their Iraqi invasion, the presence of large supplies of readily deployable wmds are not likely to be front and center. And, interestingly enough, those were the primary justifications for a preventive war. Ugly concept that it is.
