Just because we have not found them yet, does not mean they are not buried in the desert. It seems implausible to me that someone would carry a suitcase full of poison throught the desert like that, seems more likely that it was obtained locally. BTW, MFBootay, I seem to remember more than one point made prior to our invasion, presence of WMD was one of the rationale given. I would rather be wrong, and in the quagmire that is Iraq, than be wrong and wondering what the body count of American civilians would be.
I agree with your points as well.

Imagine this for a second if you will.
There were a couple of hundred thousand troops and civilians deployed in the middle east during Iraqi Freedom. If Saddam would have had WMD, the causualty numbers would have easily made Sep 11th look small in comparison. (To anyone reading this that had family and friends in those attacks I extend my blessings.)
My point is just this: None of us would have been unaffected by the lives that might have been lost.
Having said that, one might wonder why I still support the President and his administration. All I can say is I don't pretend to understand things on a national level.
That I leave for the smart men and women. I am just a soldier who follows orders.
