Iraq: What if They Did Find WMD
SAN FRANCISCO, CA -- Imagine, if you will, that two weeks after the excursion into Iraq we found massive depots of weapons of mass destruction. Stockpiled neatly in various locations. Where would we be now? Would Congress have demanded we get out immediately. "Mission Accomplished". Or would there have been a consensus that we can't just leave a nation in shambles? Once the centuries-long battle began between the sects in Iraq, and international terrorists flooded the nation, what would have been the call.
More importantly, the Sunni-vs.-Shiites battle would have erupted eventually, Iran would was heading toward bad-boy status, and the Israel/Palestine controversy was heating up. Then what would have been our policy, what would have been our military strategy, had we not moved into Iraq?
My point: We would be having the same debate today with or without the discovery of weapons of mass destruction.
