If none are found, it simply means there is one more lie on his heap of lies.
Oh, and it is true that the US must petition the UN if it wants to sell oil in ways the Iraq could not (i.e. still cannot). Just because the regime changed doesn't mean Iraq gets to scrap all its old obligations. Of course, Bush will likely find a way to circumvent this altogether and ignore the UN on the issue, thereby assisting Iraq in violating international law.

Dude.
I mean no disrespect, just some good natured ribbing.
He also stated that they didn't exist, right before the invasion. The war was officialy because of supposed WoMD that Saddam said he destroyed.
Every tussle we've gotten into leads me to believe you stand by your convictions and beliefs, that Saddam DID posses WoMD, but it seems now that there is a possibility the "loopholes" start appearing, justify the reason for the reason.
IF (and that's a big IF) WoMD aren't found, then Saddam was telling the truth, and the coalition reasoning behind the war wrong, lie or no lie.
