It's one month since they pulled down that statue in Baghdad. It was
*four years* between the end of Gulf War I and the discovery of the hidden
bioweapons program, and that only happened because its administrator,
Hussein Kamel, defected to Jordan - not because the weapons inspectors
independently stumbled upon it. Nuclear weapons programs may be hard
to hide, but bioweapons seed stocks can be stored in small containers and
buried anywhere you please. It's a bit premature to proclaim that there were
no WMDs.
