I don't think it's as big a political issue as some may wish it was. People forget that we have several UN resolutions that say Saddam has WMDs in his possession and at one time had several WMD-building programs running. Even the liberals in America were saying he had them and that he needs to disarm. They said this as recently as 18-24 months ago. It's puzzling how they now doubt he ever had them. There's that tricky hindsight again.
