Re: I hear your arguement, but
"Saddam just faced the last war he would ever face. If he was developing these weapons, would not this war be the one he was developing them for? Wouldn't they have been available for use, somewhere? Rather than deeply hidden?"
It is mysterious, isn't? Do you think the UN inspectors were being unfair?
Was it too much to ask that people would be asked questions without their being a minder? After all these people may say something bad about Saddam, or they could have betrayed some state secret? Worse they could betray that there actually were no state secrets. That would be terrible- it's embarrassing not to have huge globs of secrets. Or rumors could spread that Saddam has a small penis- can't have that.
