Winding Down

By Matt Margolis | April 15, 2003

Well, everyone, the war is winding down. They’ve been saying that the majors battles have all been fought. A couple aircraft carrier ships (I believe) are coming back. We found 7 POWs. Jessica Lynch is back home. This has been a well planned and carried out war. We’ve captured several key people in the regime - some scientists in fact - who are being grilled now regarding the WMDs Iraq has.

There’s been a lot of talk like “Where are the weapons of mass destruction?” I would not be concerned about the lack of any confirms WMDs at this point. Think about it. Saddam has had not just 12 years to make them, but also plenty of time to hide them. Since Resolution 1441, Saddam has had ample time to hide, camouflage and sell the WMDs he had. I’ve been reading a book on Iraq and Saddam Hussein, and based on the way he’s conducted things in the past, it’s not unreasonable to suggest that he’s intentionally refrained from using WMDs in this war because he knows that the moment he uses them he’s got the entire world against him - so he’s gonna hold off until the last possible second, or never use them at all because Saddam Hussein spends a great amount of his efforts fighting in the court of public opinion - and he’s still fighting a PR battle against the United States.

Of course, that is, if he is still alive.
