There are two possible outcomes for the WMD. 1) They are still in Iraq but very well hidden, or 2) They were given to another nation or terrorists before they could be secured or destroyed.
Now I know what the liberals are going to say here...they did not exists in the first place...just like Alger Hiss was not a Communist working for the US Government. But they did exist and were documented by the UN and Iraq back in 1998 or 1999 before the UN weapons inspectors were kicked out. So where did these weapons go?
And what "questionable evidence" are we talking about here? Is this the same "questionable evidence" that the British government had about Iraq trying to obtain plutonium from Africa? The same Information that MI5 (British CIA) and Tony Blair insist is accurate and true? Blair even spoke in front of the House of Commons stating that it was true and legitimate.
3) Iraq destroyed most or all of its arsenal after the Gulf War, unfortunatally with minimal documentatuon, leaving nothing to be found by UN Inspectors except a few long forgotten mustard gas shells in an abandoned wareshouse.
4) Iraq never had Nuclear capibilities, albeit they may have had ambitions and perhaps the knowledge and documentation to do so, they never had the means.
Also, the UN Inspectors weren't kicked out
of Iraq, they we're pulled out for their safety by the UN before allied UK and US airstrikes were carried out on Iraqi targets.
And there is much "questionable evidence". The claims that Iraq sought Nuclear material from Niger was based on a poorly forged document. Of course, after this came to light, the british government insisted that they had plenty of, previously unmentioned, other intelligence from foriegn sources that was concrete. Of course, they claimed that they couldnt unveil this evidence, even to the US.
More "questionable evidence"? Of course.
"My colleagues, every statement I make today is backed up by sources, solid sources. These are not assertions. What we're giving you are facts and conclusions based on solid intelligence."
- Secretary of State Colin Powell before the United Nations, 2/5/03
The problem is that much of Colin Powell's presentation to the UN relied on information from the British Intelligance Dossier on Iraq: "Iraq - Its Infrastructure of Concealment, Deception and Intimidation." It was later discovered that most of the dossier was plagerised from an essay written by a California graduate student, Ibrahim al-Marashi. That questionable enough for yah?
