We had to act in Iraq


Mark Alexander's analysis Weapons of Mass Destruction -- and Obstruction... is excellent. "The U.S. inspection team has uncovered significant evidence of chemical- and biological-weapons programs, and even more extensive evidence of Iraq's missile program -- all banned under UN resolutions. Kay reported Saddam's Iraq to have been in violation of UN sanctions in at least nine separate covert programs. The inspectors also found evidence of chemical- and biological-weapons testing on humans. This preliminary report -- after only three months of investigation -- stands in stark contrast to 12 years of failed United Nations weapons inspections; a failure culminating in the UN Security Council's weak-kneed acquiescence to Saddam."
