There does appear to be an attempt to blur and erase a blurry line here. There are good reasons for outlawing chemical weapons, but WMD is not one of them.

Biological weapons are quite another matter and I think you would agree with that since they are self-replicating and potentially one incident could kill thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of people.

And nukes are obvious. But chemical weapons are not nukes.

THere does remain the fact, though, that Saddam was barred from having chemical weapons by the 1991 cease fire.

By next week Junior will say the aim of the war was to stop child pornography.
In the mean time he will pump and sell the Iraqi oil to give them replacement windows for all the ones he broke.
Of course Chevron, Halliburton, and Carlyle will get a nice slice of the expenses.
