Hi Neocon; Re: "I am convinced they were there, and I think they are now probably in Iran and/or Syria and/or Lebanon."
If WMDs had existed in large quantities, and had been transported out of the country, some of the Iraqis who have been cooperating with the CPA would have told us of these facts.
David Kay is privy to the results of interrogations of those Iraqis who would have known what happened to the WMDs. David Kay is convinced that no such weapons exist:
...
But though Kay has said new information has been uncovered about Iraq's programs -- particularly its efforts to build missiles -- he has since concluded there are no weapons stockpiles to be found. "I don't think they existed," Kay told Reuters on Friday. "What everyone was talking about is stockpiles produced after the end of the [1991] gulf war, and I don't think there was a large-scale production program in the '90s."

You are privy to none of the evidence that David Kay used to come to that conclusion, yet you are convinced that the weapons did exist.
Here, let me quote you to you, LOL. Back in July you were saying that since we are not privy to the intelligence data, we were in a position where we should believe the opinions of those experts who were. This is in sharp contrast to your current position where you differ with the experts, LOL:

Neither you nor I are privy to all that goes into the intelligence reports, and have no independent way to critique them. Even those who are in a better position to dispute points only questioned some of the conclusions drawn, and were themselves often in a limited position to assess matters. Thus, the smart money was on our intelligence services, even admitting that there might be doubt about a few individual assertions. #reply-19093639
The truth is simple: You're a liar. Why? My guess is that you are mouthing the lies that you hope will let Bush and the Republicans escape electoral punishment for killing thousands of people.
