U.S. Weapons Inspector: Iraq Had No WMD

By KATHERINE PFLEGER SHRADER, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Drafts of a report from the top U.S. inspector in Iraq conclude there were no weapons stockpiles, but say there are signs the fallen Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had dormant programs he hoped to revive at a later time, according to people familiar with the findings.

snip...

After a year and a half in Iraq, however, the United States has found no weapons of mass destruction — its chief argument for overthrowing the regime.

6. But don't you see?

The preemptive strike had to been done. If not, Saddam could have sent WMD on its way to the USA in a flick of...uhm...uh...twenty years...or so.

4. US labs have dormant strains of smallpox virus. . .

and no discernable plans for them, so are we to rise up against our own government and demand its overthrow on the off-hand chance some madman may one day gain control and begin production of this biological threat?
