Huh?
What an amazingly feckless article!
Saddam could have complied with the UN resolutions only by destroying his WMD's under UN supervision and accounting for the chemical and biological weapons everybody knew he had.
He did neither.
This article is a testimony to the resolute, stubborn ignorance of those who are determined to defend the indefensible position that there could be any rational motivation whatsoever for Saddam Hussein to have gotten rid of his WMD's and not told anybody about it. Only a fool- or a liberal- could, at the time, have treated Saddam's persistent failure to comply with the requirement that he document the destruction of his WMD in the detail required by seventeen seperate United Nations Security Council resolutions, and by the treaty ending the First Gulf War, as anything but a failure to destroy them at all.
There would have been absolutely no point in Saddam destroying them secretly. If that is what he did, it is the crowning act of madness in the career of one of modern history's greatest madmen- and only the most innocent and naive, or the most willfully ignorant could possibly read it otherwise. In fact, any President who would have based his policy toward Saddam on the assumption that he would do so- or had done so- would have deserved impeachment as a danger to our national security due to a naievette so massive as to disqualify him from the office he held, or else to difficulties with logic so pervasive as to disqualify him from most other jobs, too.
