Remember Saddam kicked out the inspectors in '98 when it looked like most if not all WMD had been destroyed. Where did you get THAT idea? There is absolutely NO evidence to suggest that "most if not all WMD" were destroyed. There continue, to this day, to be some 1000 tons of chemical agent and 10,000L of bio agent missing. Unaccounted for. NOT destroyed. Read the inspectors' documents from back then. Your numbers are simply numbers.....the percentage is in comparison to the total WMD they believed Saddam to have. That total number is now suspect. They weren't sure back then either. So it appears now there were no 1000 tons of chemical agent etc. outstanding. That's why a smart leader would have let the weapons inspectors do their job instead of creating a fight and then a war. Patience, discipline, letting things play out is the example of a great leader. Jumping on your horse and riding into war prematurely is an example of a loser. A loser is one who tips the wings of AF 1 over Iraq instead of visiting his men on the ground who are fighting his war. A loser is one whose daddy got him into Yale, who was a cheerleader and a former president of DEKE......who went AWOL for a year with no explanation. Thanks to a loser the US Treasury is paying thru the nose and our military is bogged down and unavailable if a real threat develops. But you still don't get it, do you?
