Not as a WMD. It would need to be re-manufactured to be able to use them in anything other than an IED. They were lost through 20 years of war and sanctions. They would still be rotting underground today too......They could be re-purposed. But how did a few lost, decaying caches of these chemical warheads, in a country that had been bombed back to the stone age, pose a threat to any one but the unlucky bastard who might happen to find them?
You said it yourself, they could be "re-purposed", in otherwords eventually used to kill a lot of people.
And again (since I find myself repeating the most simple facts to liberals) the terms of the cease fire had been broken numerous times. That in itself is a justification to oust the Saddam regime.
Since the cease fire was made with the UN the decision to preemptively invade and oust Saddam's government should have been made with support of the UN. Then only if the SCR 1441 failed, as we agree to.
