Prior to the conflict....

1. Al-Samouds....a prohibited WMD delivery system....
2. Saddam's failure to verify known quantities of BW and CW uncovered by the UN in 1998 were in fact destroyed
3. Payments by Saddam to families of homicide bombers.

Since the conflict.......

1. CW residue in the Tigris
2. Thousands of chem suits and Atropine injectors
3. Mobile biolabs.
4. Salman Pak (terrorist training camp)
5. Abu Abbas captured in Baghdad.
6. Documented evidence of contacts with Al Quaeda in IIS files....

The threat of BW or CW being passed to terror groups was a real not imaginary threat...Saddam's support of terror was a real threat.....not imagined.....Saddam's place in the world wide terror apparatus was a real threat....not imagined.....The Bush Doctrine applies and was applied with stunning success......The south of Iraq is now calm and stabilizing (reopening and upgrading of the Port of UmQasar is a major, but little reported coalition success much appreciated by the locals)....the northern areas will take longer as there are more Saddam loyalists.....
