Well. No one disputes that Saddam once had WMD. Even the most brain-dead leftist accepts that he had them. He may not have used them against us because he had virtually 12 years to move them, to prepare for the day when he would be forced to hold to his disarmament obligations. He may not have used them because he destroyed them once an American attack became a distinct possibility. After all, we gave the guy over a year of warnings before we attacked him. In all that time he refused to budge. he had more than enough opportunity to meet his obligations.

It was not the actual existence of WMD that caused us to enter Iraq. It was that we knew he once had WMD, that we knew he had an obligation to get rid of them and prove that he had gotten rid of them, and that he failed to meet these obligations. Even had he destroyed his WMD, from our vantagepoint this is meaningless without proof.

Now, thanks to the courage of George Bush (and unlike the leftist wimp, Bill Clinton) the world has what it needs to rest assured that Iraq no longer poses a threat to anyone.
