Yosef - I will respond point by point

Will anybody find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq?

-----------

That depends upon how well they have been hidden and how well the evidence
was corrupted by Saddam's agencies in the last few days before the
invasion.

This does not mean there was none, only that we have not found it
after the war.

------------

The late J Edgar Hoover spent years to trying to find proof that a certain
political enemy of his was a communist.

------------

This did not mean his opponent was not a communist agent, only that it
could not be conclusively proven.  Communist agents have been very good
at concealing their activities until it is too late.

-------------

Those that are looking for proof of weapons of mass destruction had it
before they started to look.

-------------

I don't know what this means?  You mean to say we already had proof of
WMD's in Iraq before we looked for it?  Why have you been keeping this
information from the rest of us?

-------------

Those that were looking for proof of weapons of
mass destruction didn't get the chance to finish.

-------------

They had 12 years and were frustrated by the cat-and-mouse game played
by Iraq.

-------------

Are you going to undo the harm you did to international law?

-------------

I assume you are talking about Saddam here.  I cannot begin to tell you
how big a joke international law is.  International law is enforced based
upon what the current political mood of the UN is at the time.

-------------

Mr. President, as distasteful as it is to you, get on with the "Nation
Building" already.

-------------

Here, I agree with you.  The WMD argument is the rallying cry of the
opponents of GWB, who continually harp on that subject.  Because of
this the WMD issue continues to surface and puts a certian pressure
on to answer it.  We may not find any WMD's in Iraq, I think we will,
but maybe not.  I am sure we will find evidence that such existed at
the time Saddam claimed it did not.
