Bill Clinton stated recently that the WMDs existed when he left office.

So, where did they go? "

You think that because 'our boy' said it, then we must hold it to be necessarily true?

Oh please. Not everyone is just a partisan running on empty.

Clinton could have been wrong, just as easily.

Larry wrote: "You're apparently claiming that, after the inspections ended, Saddam decided to get rid of all the weapons programs and not tell anyone about it. While not impossible, it seems rather unlikely."

Any hypothesis is as good as another in the absence of supporting data. That Saddam had hordes of WMD is a VERY under-proven hypothesis. I think you should re-check what you think is likely.

Larry wrote: "To what purpose?"

I thought Saddam was a madman, and could not be deterred, and that was why we must attack. Why are you demanding purpose now?

What a shame... How sad... For you.

Don, looks like you won this round, buddy! Keep up the good work! The more you can make Larry J hide behind insults or his 'credentials', the more his case looks like horse dung.
