ט Weapons of Mass Destruction: Democrats and the First Iraq War. I was just reading about Senator Kerry's vote against the First Iraq War, and realized that it reveals why the WMD hunt is irrelevant. Back then, everybody knew that Saddam had poison gas. Not a Democrat questioned it. Yet they voted against the war anyway. So how can they say now it is so important to them that Saddam was supposed to have poison gas? (Not to mention, of course, their claim that President Bush and the CIA fooled them when they showed the Congressmen the intelligence information that was available.)
