I cannot imagine how any reader with a functioning synapse could conclude that this was the "underlying assumption" of my post. Do I take it that when discussing what is "the question", you mean to disassociate yourself from the current screams of "Bush lied! there was no threat! he made it up about WMDs!" that are coming from the left? If you meant to discuss more rational questions, like the quality of our intelligence gathering efforts and political pressures that it has been subject to, my apologies. Don't get me started on the melodramatic hysterics at Stratfor Stratfor's thesis is simple: since we know Saddam had WMDs, either he destroyed them all & stopped making more without telling the UN about it, or he still has them. An eminently logical choice. Raise your hand if think it's unlikely that Saddam really stripped himself of all these useful weapons.
