Including SECRETLY shipping those weapons to Syria, perhaps (as I theorize)?

Or secretly burying them in some remote part of Iraq, perhaps (as others have theorized)??

This is one of the points I see as a bit sticky. We were specifically and repeatedly told that US officials knew what weapons existed and where they were. The quantities were alleged to be large. Given our Satellite surveillance capabilities, how is it possible that this stuff was so thoroughly disposed of without leaving any sort of trail?

I won't go as far as some here, but I definitely get the feeling that something is rotten. I also get the feeling that if it was Clinton in the hot seat, a lot of the people now urging patience would be shrieking "LIARLIARLIAR" at the top of their lungs.

<edit>

It's also worth noting that recent White House statements seem aimed at downgrading the issue of contention from "did the Iraqi weapons pose the real and major threat that was described before the war" to "did Iraq have a weapons program". This maneuver seems positively Clintonesque.
