One extremely compelling reason is that both both biological and chemical weapons tend to work better on warmer weather, not to mention that the suits required for protection can themselves become lethal to the wearer when the ambient daytime temperatures drift up into the 100's. THAT is why it couldn't wait three more months, and besides what kind of person would actually believe that Saddam would wake up one morning in the next three months and stop playing his shell game, saying "Okay you got me: here is where my WMD's are"...a smart person or a dumb one?

Reality Check: Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
CBC News Online | April 10, 2003
...
In Kuwait on March 20, after the war in Iraq began, the country was bracing for an imminent chemical attack, an attack that never came ...
...
Why is it taking so long to find them? Some suggest it's because so many weapons were destroyed before the war.
Ron Cleminson, a Canadian member of the UN weapons inspection commission, says, "We knew we had 817 of 819 scuds; we had destroyed 40,000 chemical weapons."
In other words, the inspections were working, something the UN inspectors were insisting just two weeks before the war started. ...
But that was not fast enough for George Bush, who maintained war was the only option. "Time is running out on Saddam Hussein? he must disarm. I'm sick and tired of games and deception," Bush said.
Even though the Bush administration has been caught in its own deceptions. The U.S. insisted it had proof Iraq was trying to buy uranium for a nuclear bomb, but the documents themselves were false.
Mohamed ElBaradei, the chief nuclear inspector, told the UN Security Council "These documents that formed the basis for recent uranium transactions between Niger and Iraq are in fact not authentic."
Ron McGovern, a former CIA analyst, asks if there are weapons, why have military commanders put finding them on the backburner?
..McGovern also says if Saddam Hussein had weapons he would have used them.

One phrase is clear: "But that was not fast enough for George Bush, who maintained war was the only option" |
