The totality of the text indicates to me that Santorum might be more in the former camp than the latter. Which makes sense in context of the facts, that we know to be true, that former President Clinton called Iraq the greatest danger to stability in the ME and also told us that they had WMDs, which, apparently as Sen. Santorum pointed out, we found after we took appropriate action, and those WMDs numbered at least 500!!!
And that's not counting what was moved to Syria.

As Donald Rumsfeld famously observed, the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
It is, however, nonetheless an absence of evidence.
And you have household chemicals that are as dangerous as the old, non-functional chemical weapons (artillery shells) they found.
