It does not matter. That is what we were told would be found. I don't think anyone expected to find a bunch of missiles loaded up with chemical agents.

What "chemical weapons" do you think fit inside a suitcase?

How about a suitcase containing 25 kg of mercury or depleted uranium? That would be enough material to make several million people sick from chemical poisoning. But only if all of it can be efficiently distributed and deposited into the victims' bodies, of course.

"Before September 11 terrorism was viewed as something ugly, but you lived with it," Wolfowitz said.

Saddam Hussein, too, "was viewed as something ugly," Wolfowitz said, but also as "something that was for the Iraqi people to take care of."

After September 11, 2001, "terrorism looked different," to the United States and the American people, Wolfowitz said.

"Saddam Hussein, who played with terrorists, and had weapons of mass destruction, looked much more threatening to United States than just to his own people," he continued.

So because Osama Bin Laden and a bunch of saudi arabians attack the WTC, you invade Iraq?

Sorry, I don't see the logic.
