Many of you have responded that, given time, we will find WMD's. On that point, we'll have to wait and see. But I have to agree with boatin; it is already blindingly clear that there was absolutely no imminent threat, and that the Administration was lying or greatly exxaggerating its claims about Iraqi power. Do you really expect us to believe that a nation that didn't use WMD's to defend its own capital was capable of launching terrifying nonconventional attacks on Western targets?
"The Defense Department claims 12 nations with nuclear weapons programs, 13 with biological weapons, 16 with chemical weapons, and 28 with ballistic missiles as existing and emerging threats to the United States. But only one of those countries sits atop the second largest oil reserves in the world."
