The problem was Saddam

A new report from the Iraq Survey Group reveals that no WMDs have been found in Iraq. However, the report also indicates that Saddam Hussein was just biding his time until the inspectors packed up:

Drafts of a report from the top U.S. inspector in Iraq conclude there were no weapons stockpiles, but say there are signs the fallen Iraqi President Saddam Hussein had dormant programs he hoped to revive at a later time, according to people familiar with the findings.

What would have been the point of giving the inspectors more time (what, twelve more years)? Hussein was always the greatest threat to Iraq and the region. Also, a long report on Fox News reveals that Hussein’s connections with Al-Qaeda may have been more extensive than believed, thanks to the United Nations Oil-for-Food scam program.
