No Smoking Gun, No Imminent Threat.... and No Surprise?

My personal view on SH before we bombed him was that:
  • He probably did have some form of WoMD.
  • He would use them if threatened.
  • He did not represent an imminent threat to the region or the world.
It looks like I was wrong on the first point:

‘No surprise’ Iraq WMD not found

they have not found any stocks of weapons of mass destruction of any kind


The hunt for weapons of mass destruction yields - nothing

An intensive six-month search of Iraq for weapons of mass destruction has failed to discover a single trace of an illegal arsenal

...not even a can of fly spray.

So what’s the answer? That’s easy; give the ISG what Blix was not allowed: more time.

I really do wonder about the costs and benefits of the conflict; OBL must be laughing his socks off whilst sending out the membership packs...

(...) Too true. Billions down the hole, and the net result of this "cowboy diplomacy" is that everyone hates the U.S. as never before. Wonderful! -- Hop-Frog (21 years ago, 3-Oct-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
