Hmmmmmmmmm.........
If Iraq had no WMD programs prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom, why did Saddam order them shut down ?
Followup: Joseph Shahada,whose translations of Iraqi documents have won him national acclaim,says the order in question was promulgated by Saddam Hussein at the request of Kofi Annan.
It is difficult to determine what Annan's motives were-unless,of course,Annan wanted to make sure Saddam did not deploy any WMD during the anticipated conflict. (Annan,it may be recalled,has said he did not believe Saddam had any such weapons-which still leaves us with a minor mystery !)
