The WMD hunt
"Evidence of WMD plotting found in Iraq"
"The United States has found evidence of an active programme to make weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, including 'truly amazing' testimony from Iraqis ordered to dupe United Nations inspectors before the war, the man leading the hunt said yesterday.
"David Kay, a former UN inspector and now the CIA's leading consultant who is joint head of the Iraq Survey Group (ISG), offered an unprecedentedly bullish assessment of the hunt for weapons of mass destruction.
"Although he called for patience, he predicted that doubters were in for a "surprise" by the time his work was done.
"...That evidence included documents detailing how to conceal arms plants as commercial facilities, and for restarting weapons production once the coast was clear, officials told reporters."
The latter issue is justification alone for the war with Iraq regardless of whether any actual WMD are found. Saddam was an incorregible recidivist who was gaming the UN inspectors and the leftest dupes who opposed the war waiting for an opportunity to retart his weapons programs as soon as the heat was off. That is why relying on UN inspectors was a false hope all along.
