No he does not say that Saddam had no WMD.....BUT he did say that there was NO proof. I think this was everyone's point......They was NOT an eminent threat and we were doing a good job of keeping Saddam in his place.......We did it with USSR fro 40 years!

In 1998, you said Saddam had "not nearly disarmed." Now you say he doesn't have weapons of mass destruction (WMD). Why did you change your mind?NOTICE THE DATE!

I have never given Iraq a clean bill of health! Never! Never! I've said that no one has backed up any allegations that Iraq has reconstituted WMD capability with anything that remotely resembles substantive fact. To say that Saddam's doing it is in total disregard to the fact that if he gets caught he's a dead man and he knows it. Deterrence has been adequate in the absence of inspectors but this is not a situation that can succeed in the long term. In the long term you have to get inspectors back

Ok the inspectors were back in Iraq before the war....They found no WMD...and they could have stayed for another year.....As long as inspectors were looking and found none....how can you justify the invasion and the lose of so many lives
