Reader comment on item: [Saddam's] WMD Lies

Submitted by Tova Mattero (United States), Oct 8, 2003 at 01:24

Whether or not any weapons are found....we gave Saddam plenty of time to get any weapons he had out of the country before the war.

Also, I may be thick-headed, but where did he get the chemical and biological weapons he used on his own people? That seems to be a forgotten issue.
