'Only an idiot'
I'm not going to get into the tired "there were no WMD" debate again. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there are/were WMD that coalition forces have found in Iraq.

Only an idiot would argue that, in 2003, Iraq possessed no weapons of mass destruction...But only a bigger idiot would argue that the weapons items found by U.S. intelligence since 2003 are the same WMD whose existence the Bush administration used to justify the later war.

Re: 'Only an idiot'
As I said earlier, when you get your ass kicked in a military action, sign on the dotted line to cease getting your ass kicked, then balk at complying with the terms above that dotted line, your ass is subject to getting kicked without warning at any time. Saddam didn't let us or anyone know he had these, and the inspectors now have egg on their face.

I agree, but that doesn't change the fact that these are hardly WMDs (not all illegal weapons are of mass destruction and its really stupid that the two concepts have almost become synonymous), and they are certainly not the WMDs the war was principally sold to the world on.
