Another good article from FrontPage.com, this one by Frank Gaffney regarding the collective yawn from the media and the Left regarding the WMDs found in Iraq.
Gaffney has probably the best synopsis of the WMD issue I have seen...
>>>Rarely has this phenomenon been more in evidence than with respect to Iraqi Weapons of Mass Destruction. Practically everyone – members of the Coalition’s intelligence services, the United Nations, even the French, Germans and Russians – recognized that, at one time, Saddam had chemical and biological weapons and a program for building nuclear devices. Since he never satisfactorily accounted for the complete destruction of the stocks of WMDs, like those he previously used in lethal attacks on Iran and his own Kurds, the only reasonable conclusion was that they continued to exist in some form, in unknown quantity. <<<
Everyone knows he had them, we couldn't prove he didn't and he refused to cooperate to let us look, so we had to assume he still had them (and I believe he did and they do). The John Kerry's of the world would just as soon take this crazed dictator at his word, right up until the checmical clouds enveloped Chicago, Tel Aviv or Boston.
Now the burden of proof is that we need to see STOCKPILES of the weapons, or as Gaffney puts it, the classic liberal tactic of moving the goalposts.
