Its the difference between weapons of mass destruction and not having weapons of mass destruction. Which funnily enough, is actually a far funnier conspiracy. Wonder where Saddam acquired chemical weapons and the constituent chemicals to produce said weapons. If your answer is, the United States State Department and the Dow Corning company, then you'd be a winner! If you wonder where the chemical weapons disappeared to? That answer is Syria, through the north western border via a 22 mile long chemical truck convoy. We've been playing follow the chemical weapons for 2 decades.
