Jordan's King Abdullah and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak personally assured Gen. Tommy Franks that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction within two months of the U.S.'s attack, the former Centcom Commander revealed on Tuesday.

"The Jordanians have reliable intelligence and sources in Iraq that say, in fact, that Saddam Hussein has biological and chemical weapons," Franks said King Abdullah told him.

...In his book "American Soldier," the ex-Centcom chief quotes Mubarak saying, "You've got to be very, very careful, general. We have spoken with Saddam Hussein. He is a madman. He has weapons of mass destruction, biological weapons. And he will use them against your troops."

"A number of other leaders in the Mideast told us he had them, too," Franks told Hannity, adding, "If you were president of the United States, could you avoid paying attention to that?"

Yes I know the source is one many would consider to be dubious.

But OK, lets say Iraq had some WMD's. Where are they now? In a container headed for NYC and Tel Aviv?

IMHO, this is even worse for Bush than if Iraq didn't have WMDs. Either way, the invasion was obviously a mistake, seeing as how the WMDs cannot be found now. If they had them, though, that is a far worse scenario in terms of outcome for us.
