Another reason why the WMD flap is meaningless
Thailand terrorists almost had the materials for a dirty bomb. The seller was caught in a sting, but he HAD the material, had successfully smuggled it, and was in the process of selling it.If not for the undercover agents who caught this and tipped off customs, the materials could be in muslim terrorist hands right now. Who knows if any materials slipped through prior to this or will slip through after this.
No, we have not found WMDs in Iraq. Who knows where they are. My guess is that they were smuggled out of the country and/or destroyed. The point is, Saddam had the means, the will, and opportunity to distribute a lot of this junk to al qeada and any other nut-job islamofacist group that wanted it. Getting rid of him and his regime was always the key goal of the Iraq war.
The world is much safer with him gone, whether or not we find WMDs in his borders. I guess it does not matter to me if he did or did not have WMDs at the time of the inspectors returning to Iraq. He used to have them, has always wanted them, and would have them again one day unless someone stopped him.
