I was thinking about that and it seems to me that there was a mysterious ship that was being tracked because it was suspected of having "interesting" cargo. The story seemed to die and I don't remember reading anything else about it.
This doesn't change my opinion on it all. Hussein wasn't stupid. He knew about satellite tracking et al.
BTW, the only thing they would have to move were the warheads and elements.
Have they found missile bodies?
I'd think that we would have heard a hell of a lot more than what we have, if there were even the slightest possibility that this mystery train was shipping WMDs. They surely could've tracked were the train was going and started a search there.
I think believing Saddam shipped out WMDs that could've been picked up by satellite, but weren't, is giving the president the benefit of the doubt. I understand you want to do that, whereas I do not.
I'm not saying I'm perfect, either. I firmly believe I was duped. After 9/11, I wanted blood, and stupidly believed that everyone in the Middle East belonged to the same "hate America" club. When Bush said Iraq = bad, I swallowed the hook. I willingly let him talk me into believing Iraq had something to do with 9/11, and didn't start believing I made a mistake until years later. I loved Dubya and craved his warmongering ways. I wanted blood - any Middle Eastern blood would due. I think he willingly redirected the same "kill Obama" sentiment in all of us. And I'm kinda pissed about that.
