WMDs

The past few months, the anti-war crowd and the Iraq War skeptics have been doing the superior dance all over their blogs and in blog comments because of the (supposed) lack of WMDs found in Iraq.

One has to wonder why Saddam simply wasn't more cooperative if he was innocent of having WMDs. He could have prevented the whole war, and he could be still living in palaces, funding terrorism, torturing people, feeding them into plastic shredders and burying them in mass graves with impunity. (All while the good pacifists wipe away their crocodile tears and look the other way, as they usually do.)

As Steve H. points out, a mobile bioweapons lab was found several months ago, but this find was quickly pooh-poohed and swept under the rug by the anti-war/war-skeptic crowd. Dean Esmay says the same thing will happen with the latest WMD find. Dean also reminds us that the WMDs were not the only reason for going to Iraq. I admit that the WMDs loomed large in my own mind at the time. But now, with all the other things that have come out, I realize that there were many more reasons why Saddam's regime needed to be taken out. I truly believe we did the right thing.

I'm as frustrated as Steve and Dean are. They're right...no matter what is found in Iraq, the same crowd will just ignore it. They will also ignore the torture, mass graves and terrorist funding. And they will keep doing their superior dance. So, to hell with them.

Update: Could the WMDs have been moved to Syria?

Update (1/15/04): Well, the Danish find wasn't WMDs. The superior dancing continues...

Update (1/17/04): Previous update corrected. My apologies to the Danish for calling you Dutch. ;-)
