The Defense Department seems to think that you can't attack our allies with chemicals that have been sitting in the desert for 15 years. George Bush claimed that he had evidence of a grave threat to our country. Finding a pickup truck full of Swiss Army knives and ninja stars doesn't change the fact that the threat did not exist.

Fact is, WMD were found, weapons not reported by Saddam to the UN inspectors or apparently found by them. What was Saddam going to do with them? There are certainly more and most certainly there were more spirited over the borders whilst the failed negotiations went on and on and on.
