The best comments we've run across about Senator Santorum's news conference about finding WMD in Iraq came from The Evangelical Outpost. An excerpt:
Opposition to the war has nothing to do with the lack of WMDs. It never did. We could find a nuclear bomb in Uday Hussein’s old apartment and John Kerry would still be gearing up for Winter Soldier II. Unless you dropped your moral compass off the side of a swift boat in Cambodia, it’s easy to see that the world is safer because we secured the one WMD that truly mattered: Saddam Hussein.
More important than the weapons that were found (or that have yet to be found) are the ones that will never be created by Saddam’s regime. Many Americans, however, still suffer from the delusion that the only way that Saddam could have been a significant threat was for him to have possessed stockpiles of WMDs.
That's exactly right. Saddam wasn't a threat only if he had ready stockpiles of weapons. And the BDS-suffering anti-war left opposed the war before inspections failed to turn up any stockpiles. So it's impossible for them to honestly say that the absence of stockpiles of WMD is the reason for their opposition.
In the end, the only reason we know for certain that Saddam Hussein is fully and finally disarmed is because President Bush acted. The only reason those screaming "there were no WMD!" know that is because President Bush acted.
