Sorry for the piecemeal repsonses, I am multi tasking:

"You wrote off the huge portion of Kay's report showing WMD information and materials hidden around the nation.

You write off many other circumstantial pieces of evidence. Why are Iraqi scientists even now targeted for death? If there weren't any programs, where the hell are all the scientists coming from in the first place? What WAS hauled off to Syria in trucks in February of 2003?

And more importantly, you assigned no importance whatsoever to a consistent past pattern of seeking WMD, building and using them when they could, including a past history of successfully concealing such activity from the U.N. until after the Gulf War broke the nation open. Our dicking around with the United Nations for months gave Saddam plenty of time to clean up his act if he needed to."

Then where are the WMD, Tom? There is just as strong circumstantial evidence for UFOs and the Yeti, but you surely don't expect me to buy that too- especially in the absence of a corpse or a saucer?

Saddam is a thug, a bastard, and I'm sure he might have tried to rebuild his WMD at some point in the future. But that DID NOT MAKE HIM A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER to the US, which is what this war was predicated on, no matter how much revisionism and relativism you wish to apply.
