THE GLOVES FIT, WE WON'T ACQUIT: I don't know about the rest of you, but I no longer even need "a smoking gun." Look, Saddam was a bad actor intent on a legacy of same. We know enough to know he was trying like heck to develop chemical and nuclear weapons under adverse conditions and with varying levels of success, and that they weren't intended for high school science fairs. He had his foot over our neck, so to speak, and he was telling us he hated our guts. Good for us for not waiting for him to stomp. Maybe we won't find a smoking gun, but there was plenty of blood on Saddam's gloves to justify what we did.
