We talked about this before: once war was inevitable, Saddam would have no further incentive to refrain from providing these weapons to terrorists. This may have happened: if he could get them to Syria, he could get them to Al Qaeda. What we heard more often was that Saddam would use them against the US. What I wonder more often is the pattern that has emerged of reliable media outlets (eg NPR, WaPo, NYTimes) first reporting some pretty clear WMD weapons or materials, then having the report vanish again with no followup. If I didn't know better I'd suspect that the Pentagon was trying to hush the story up rather than promote it. I suspect they are determined not to go off half-cocked again and are trying to form a water-tight case. Just a guess.
