Again, it comes to a judgment call.
You would take the risk that he had no WMD, did not have the ability to deploy them, nor the will.
I would error on the other side of the issue. I would error on that side even if I thought there was for example 90% chance he did not have WMD, because of Saddam's history and defiance.
And I would premise my arguement to the American people by saying there is a "chance he has WMD...". I guess you would say I am a lier.
On the other hand what would you say to the American people to justify your inaction, given the possibility that he might of had WMD? What would you say if you turned out being wrong and he used WMD? Oops, my bad?!?
