It is possible that there are vials buried somewhere. They recently found jets buried in the sands, months after the end of the invasion. In any event, the continued focus on WMD is the administration's trying to climb out of a PR hole. It's starting to look like Saddam did a pretty good job of scaring us into believing that he had WMD, missles, etc. He was the master of bluff. Of course, the history of gassing the Kurds and Iranians helped. My thoughts are that if someone is so convincing that they have WMD and has a history of terror towards his own people and his neighbors, as well as financial support of suicide bombers and terrorists, then toppling him is justified. I know you disagree and I also have posted that our approach has been flawed in PR and in getting the world involved so need to debate that. My point here is that the continuing need to justify a failed point doesn't help the administration. I'd just come out and admit errors. I can't understand why they can't do this. The American people would recognize this. Saddam pulled a real fast one. The result was that it bit him in the posterior.
