John, I'd look those up for you, but have a very full day doing "do-gooder" things....Board Meeting, then a committee meeting later.

BUT, the info is here on this board as to what was found in the WMD department...

look under Advanced Search last year and this year to date....Put in ---WMD Iraq found---....

If you didn't get that extra, you can at least see what has been found this year.

You are correct in that there has been no BIG Atomic or Hydrogen Bomb found.....

But there was yellow cake, and all sorts of other "little" items found, and some even noted by the UN teams....

...."The claim that there were sufficient supplies of wmd in Iraq to warrant an invasion is simply not a credible claim now."....

That's because the assertion itself is spurious.

Removing Saddam was not solely about "stockpiles" of WMD's.

That is a cold hard fact except perhaps for those who still
consider the NYT "The Paper of Record".

I like to ask what of the dozens or reasons written down and voted on by the house and senate to authorize kicking sadam out were not and are not true.

And to me there was in context sufficient credible evidence that one could conclude sadam did have WMD.

Sadam was unable to cower like a whipped dog and allow the UN to show he had no WMD. Sadam got run over in traffic.

REMOVAL was the only legal option for the President.
