You still haven't told me why a few missiles fired at anyone who'd sell WMDs to Saddam would not have been a viable course of action

But Saddam had big stocks of them unaccounted for, unfound by the UN. His programs had paused, he could have restarted them. He didn't need to buy anything from outside the country.

Where are they now? I don't know. But I bet some were destroyed, some deteriorated, some went to the Bekaa, and some are still in caches. Furthermore, I bet we will see them used against our troops as the insurgents get desperate for a newsworthy strike.

What evidence do you have that this was the case?


Saddam was the evidence. Uday was the evidence. Qusay was the evidence. That region could not afford that regime running wild again - which was its established pattern of behavior.
