The significance of the difference in this situation is - 1) Wilson is on record as saying that Saddam did have chemical and biological weapons, prior to and during the recent war - he was using the same intelligence that the Clintons used, which is the same intelligence that Dubya used. 2) There is no doubt whatsoever that Saddam had a nuclear program in the past, and that he continued to attempt to obtain uranium during the 1990s. 3) The question Wilson was involved in, peripherally, was whether Saddam continued to have a nuclear program as of 2002-2003. Interesting that Wilson's wife is a CIA specialist in WMD, and that the CIA has always (as far as I know) argued that Saddam did NOT continue to hunt for ways to continue his nuclear program in 2002-2003. Thus, Bush was clear when he attributed the intelligence he used in the SOTU address about African uranium to the Brits.

<<When one gives it any serious thought, they are all the same. The chemical kills everyone within its radius immediately, the bio can kill everyone worldwide eventually, and the nuclear can kill millions immediately, and eventually everyone worldwide.>> Bio/chem/nuke, that's one thing. They're finding plenty of rocket propelled grenades and surface to air missiles. Imagine those puppies getting smuggled to terrorists inside the US. RPGs hitting gas storage depots, SAMs shooting down planes at our airports...

Speaking of WMD. The only place I've been able to find a link to this story at DRUDGE. I wonder why the American media is not picking up on this? Is the Hindustan Times a reliable source? M Kuwait foils smuggling of chemicals, bio warheads from Iraq Associated Press Kuwait City, October 2 Kuwaiti security authorities have foiled an attempt to smuggle $60 million worth of chemical weapons and biological warheads from Iraq to an unnamed European country, a Kuwaiti newspaper said on Wednesday. The pro-Government Al-Siyassah, quoting an unnamed security source, said the suspects had been watched by security since they arrived in Kuwait and were arrested "in due time." It did not say when or how the smugglers entered Kuwait or when they were arrested. The paper said the smugglers might have had accomplices inside Kuwait. It said Interior Minister Sheik Nawwaf Al Ahmed Al Sabah would hand over the smuggled weapons to an FBI agent at a news conference, but did not say when. Government officials could not be immediately reached for comment. Iraqi Interior Minister Nouri Al-Badran met on Tuesday with Sheik Nawwaf and discussed cooperation between the two countries in security matters. His visit is the first by an Iraqi interior minister to Kuwait since 1990. hindustantimes.com
