I know we have not found much CW in Iraq (though I'm amazed how the press are trying to sweep the recent sarin and mustard gas finds under the rug. Artillery shells are like cockroaches. Nobody has just one.). But you are asking me to believe that Saddam threw out the weapons inspectors in 1998 so that he could destroy all his weapons and weapons programs in secret while keeping all the pain of the sanctions. Even for a decision maker like Saddam, that's a tough one to believe.

We gave Saddam 14 months to prepare for the war. Convoys of trucks went to Syria in January 2003. Syrian sources called heretofore reliable say that Saddams weapons programs went in them. Nobody can declare the issue closed or untrue until we know what was in those trucks. Meantime, 20 tons of "nerve gas and blister agents", to quote King Abdullah, were incepted on their way from Syria to a mega-attack in Amman. Where, inquiring minds want to know, did Al Qaeda come up with those toys?
