Thirty days later, there still isn’t any sign of WMD, and the Bush administration is starting to get nervous. So says The Washington Post today in a front page article. One “high-ranking official” said: “If such weapons or the means of making them have been removed from the centralized control of former Iraqi officials, then the war may prove to aggravate the proliferation threat that President Bush said he fought to forestall.”

What if Saddam, knowing he was going down no mater what, secretly destroyed all his WMD before he was attacked so the U.S. would be humiliated? Would he have given WMD to Al Qaeda or other terrorists to ensure eventual revenge on the Americans? Maybe the WMD was simply looted in the chaos after the attack? Could it find it’s way into Al Qaeda’s hands this way?

I like the first option. This would also explain why Saddam didn’t attack Israel. It would also fit with his desire to become a great Arab martyr.
