Bullshit. WMD now has the same relevance at the end of this war as "What about Danzig?" had in 1945. It's just no longer important, other than as a failed propaganda tool for the anti-American left...

I think at some point the programs and weapons went underground...way underground.....like Gollum with the gold ring in Lord of the Rings. Schwartzkopf said he was ecstatic that Saddam was the strategist in GW I and if he was the strategist here I think he meant to save the jewels of his power, just as he saved his air force and better equipped and trained soldiers in Kuwait. His failure to light off the oil fields, or at least more of them, is the same kind of mystery as the whereabouts of the weapons. I think they would have been easier to find if he had intended their use and had them deployed. Maybe his real strategy was to seek a larger following in the Arab world. The leaders had little respect for each other though many people had some hope for Saddam as a successor to Nasser as a strong figure to give them self-esteem.
