"Most experts think Saddam does NOT have WMD." Really, how about a source or a link on that statement. The inspectors ARE going in (you forgot to thank your President on that one, Karen)... when they get there they will either find WMD's or be blocked from sites they would like to inspect. When it becomes clear that there actually ARE conditions (and Saddam has lied to Karen).... the action will begin. With the added bonus of UN arms inspectors to use as human shields... You do recall that, back in the GW, that tactic was used by the one you choose to trust over your own President, dont you Karen?

I read that about the Baghdad airport. As I've stated, Saddam has far more to gain by simply complying than he does by arming himself...for what purpose? Most experts think Saddam does NOT have WMD. Then why wasn't Iraq disarmed in 1991, instead of continuing to hide weapons right up to 1998 when Saddam kicked the inspectors out? Because he has more to gain in the Arab world by continuing to successfully resist the Great Satan. I'm not sure what experts you are referring to. Ritter? Derek

Most experts think Saddam does NOT have WMD. What if he did, what would he do? As to your 1st statement...I would like you to back that up. And to your questions, there is plenty of proof that he does, and it is pretty thoroughly documented. google.com These two are excellent illustrations of his WMD capabilities. cns.miis.edu cdi.org I heard it said tonight that the entire country of Iraq has been set up as one giant weapons factory. I found that to be a particularly chilling statement. If you take the time to look through some of the sites on the link I provided you can't help but see the threat. What will he do with them? He could provide these weapons to any terrorist organization....[remember the ship load of Iraqi supplied weapons intercepted on their way to the Pals last Spring?]....for money and support of his own agenda. He could, and probably would hold hostage millions of humans who would then be at the mercy of this ruthless dictator who has killed millions of his own people. He could send his own agents into places that he wished to control such as Israel to do irreparable harm to thousands. He could send individuals overseas to America who would have the capacity to destroy whole cities. The scenarios are endless, and unimaginable. This is unacceptable and the reason you are seeing a shift in International support for the removal of Saddam Hussein. It is all becoming quite clear to most of modern civilization and the shouting is almost over. As soon as President Bush gets authorization from congress to use any means necessary to defend the United States of America against terrorist threats, you will see a fairly quick change of regime in Iraq.
