And the case for the final UN resolution came down to declarations that Iraq
possessed and was
persuing WMDs. We even showed pictures of where they were keeping them to the U.N.
Again, the violations justification for the war existed for 13 years. The possession argument is the one that made it happen. The Bush administration hitched their wagon to the wrong horse.
But all of that is moot. The Bush administration is essentially arguing against you, Leo, that these finds are of any great significance. After 3 years of ridicule on this exact issue do you really think they would hesitate to trumpet any affirming discoveries?
