So what you're saying is

RESOLVED

a) America is virulently and violently anti-Iraq in both rhetoric and action.

b) America has massive military potential with regards to Iraqi interests on the basis of population, free cash flow and geography.

c) America is capable, on a technical and resource basis (see aforementioned cash flow and reserves) of developing additional WMD on a less than geological time-scale, and had demonstrated proclivities in that direction previously.

d) Given 9/11, we were quite aware that other virulently anti-Iraqi groups might be happy to use such a device against Iraq directly even if America proved to be reluctant. "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

e) Pressure is building from intimidated nations to lower the level of pressure on America in the near term, blithely ignoring (or simply not caring about) a) through d).

f) America needed to be wiped off the map, post-haste.
