I found the following three articles at Everything I Know Is Wrong:

From Worldnet Daily:

In virtually every case -- chemical, biological, nuclear and ballistic missiles -- the United States has found the weapons and the programs that the Iraqi dictator successfully concealed for 12 years from U.N. weapons inspectors.

The Iraq Survey Group, ISG, whose intelligence analysts are managed by Charles Duelfer, a former State Department official and deputy chief of the U.N.-led arms-inspection teams, has found "hundreds of cases of activities that were prohibited" under U.N. Security Council resolutions, a senior administration official tells Insight.

"There is a long list of charges made by the U.S. that have been confirmed, but none of this seems to mean anything because the weapons that were unaccounted for by the United Nations remain unaccounted for."

From Insight Magazine:

On Dec. 24, 2002, nearly three months before fighting in Iraq began, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon accused Saddam Hussein's regime of transferring key materials for his weapons of mass destruction (WMD) programs to Syria in convoys of 18-wheel trucks to hide them from U.N. weapons inspectors. "There is information we are verifying, but we are certain that Iraq has recently moved chemical or biological weapons into Syria," Sharon told Channel Two television in Israel.

From Middle East Newsline:

Arab diplomatic and Sudanese government sources said the regime of Sudanese President Omar Bashir has ordered that Syria remove its Scud C and Scud D medium-range ballistic missiles as well as components for chemical weapons stored in warehouses in Khartoum.

I don't normally article quotes from other blogs, but the information contained in these three articles is just too important. This information needs to be out. The President's critics continue to claim that the President initiated the war in Iraq with lies. That's just not true. There were WMD's in Iraq. Unfortunately, Saddam Hussein was able to move them out of the country while we were still trying to get the U.N. to help us go into Iraq. And even with the WMD issue put aside for a moment, there is a whole laundry list of U.N. violations that have been 100% confirmed which amounts to a good enough reason on its own for invasion.

The war in Iraq was and is warranted.
