Not that my words will influence anyone's stance on this but, his secret activities prior to the current war (enhancing the range of missiles, storing programs to be reactivated later, misappropriation of oil for food monies, etc) obviously left plenty of room for interpretation and understandably the worst case scenario perspective was taken.
In the end it, the wmd argument doesn't matter to me since my stance has always been that Iraq was about changing the perception of the US as a paper tiger, but I digress...
In terms of the implications of this article, I wonder if there will be an investigation into what happened to the "unaccounted for" weapons then. There is no doubt he had wmds in the past and there is no doubt that he did not prove to any of the weapons inspectors conclusively that all had been destroyed. So, as the article points out, were any of them shipped across the border or were they destroyed?
