The whole "there are no WMDs" argument borders on the frivolous. The evidence is overwhelming that Saddam had them, the fact that they can't be found notwithstanding.

How doyou refute the following:

1.- All the chemical weapons gear found during the war, the gas-masks, etc.

2.- The UN's previous findings.

3.- Saddam's use of them on the Kurds and Iranians.

4.- If Saddam did not have them, why did he not give complete and unfettered access to the inspectors? Why were they kicked out? Not the act of a rational man intent on preserving his power. In order to avoid war and sanctions, all he had to do was to allow complete access to the entire country.

The whole line of discussion is simply ludicrous.
