> Hint: WMD was one of several reasons, and not the top one.

> The report stated that Saddam had a complete bioweapons infrastructure in place and ready to ramp up to full production within a 6 month period.
What the Administration likes to forget to tell you is that practically any nation in the world could start producing bioweapons within six months.
> Knowing now just how rotten and corrupt the oil for food program was, it was only a short matter of time before Saddam was once again cranking out bioweapons.
