Who lost the WMDs
Instead of accusing the U.S. and U.K. executive administrations of misleading, exaggerating, or even lying to the public about Saddam's weapons of mass distruction, I'd rather stipulate to their existence, especially the chem and bio weapons that western countries helped him develop. I have another question entirely: where are they? Have me indeed made it more likely that these weapons will fall into the hands of our stateless enemies? What an incredible security nightmare! Shouldn't securing the WMD sites have taken precedence over securing the oil fields?
Apparently, the latest Bush administration line is that looters got the WMDs. Is that supposed to be comforting?

“Saddam is even more interesting than Rambo,” he said. “He is the Rambo of Iraq.”
