But I am almost positive that everyone in the administration thought Saddam had WMDs. They were just as surprized as anyone else that they were not there. If you remember he had used them before, and he was completely not cooperating with the weaponse inspectors. Why else would he provent the weapon inspectors from inspecting certain places if he didn't have WMDs. Clearly everyone overestimated Saddan Husseins intelligence and level headedness. It is clear now that he messed with the weapon inspectors out of pure spite or insanity. But I just don't think the administration would have gone on and on about the WMDs unless they thought they were there. At the time they were hyping up the WMDs that it was clear that if none were found it would be big trouble for the administration. I remember Colmes, on Hannity and Colmes, saying to Hannity that if we go in and there are no WBDs George was in big trouble. Hannity agreed, but said that it was absurd to think that Hussein didn't have the WMD. Yes, it was a big intelligence screw, but it was not a conspiracy of lies like everyone likes to think it is. Every mistake by the administration is not some conspiracy.

In other words, it can't have been fraud because they convinced themselves, too.
