But WMDs were the central element of W's war marketing plan, and so far, they appear to be approximately non-existent.

Yes, we've not had much luck finding any..

But that's not the point. There are still 6,000 of them which remain unaccounted for, as revealed in the document the Iraqis denied to the UNSCOM inspectors in July, 1998 (resulting in the termination of inspections) but finally provided in December, 2002 (but still did not account for).

Compliance was not supposed to be a "guessing game" Win..

Saddam's responsibility was clear.. Account for all WMDs and destroy them.

He was not permitted to maintain ambiguity concerning their existence.

I don't have to know there are drugs in a known crack house for there to remain probable cause to conduct a raid and arrest them (especially if they have committed other crimes)..

Especially when the occupants continue to violate binding court orders to cease and desist and prove they have destroyed all traces of them.

And members of the "grand jury" who issued the original "indictment" do not have the right to subvert the authority of legal enforcement of that order.
