Perhaps you already thought of it, and perhaps I should have thought of it, but one of my readers (who wishes to remain anonymous) recently gave me something simple yet profound about Iraq’s WMD:
The thought that occurred to me from the first mention of WMD’s and continued through the entire push to get the war started was — if Iraq has WMD’s, why in the world aren’t the Iraqis using them to repel the U.S. invaders? Weapons of mass destruction would certainly be a potent defense against an invading army. And the following thought always was — there can’t be any WMD’s or surely Saddam would use them.
