My sarcastic, unkind, before-the-first-cuppa-coffee response is "because he's 'doing' the American public... not White House interns."
Actually, I did hear that same question raised on NPR this morning.

Now I have to wonder what the hell weather baloon labs were doing buried in the desert? I don't think we're getting the full story about whats been found and I can't figure out why. Bush and Blair are both taking a hell of alot of heat over this. I reserve judgement until I see the entire picture. Saddam might have been closer than anyone thinks and we might have goofed and let those weapons get out of there. In our blind rage to get Bush out of there, I'd hate to think we'd ignore the painfully obvious...or the guy in the mall with a ticking backpack.

You don't understand, the weapons inspectors ridded Iraq of WMD, some of the inspection team even came out and said so (Scott Ritter). Iraq was stripped of all necessary components for developing weapons of mass destruction, that is why all the focus was on the stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons, and these were clearly non existant or they would have been found, anyone who thinks Saddam Hussein is driving around the middle east with 300, 000 litres of anthrax in the back of his jeep needs a reality check. The weapons were destroyed years ago.

All of that you're referring to was claimed destroyed by Iraq.

But with no proof...another stipulation of the first UN resolution. My point is, its just too early to close the book on the chance that these weapons are still out there. Haste makes waste and all that jazz. Are you in such a hurry to condemn Bush that you would back the word of someone like Saddam Hussien and are you willing to risk the ramifications on such a venture? Should we just stop looking and impeach Bush? Would you be willing to take a chance on these weapons being used just to gain some satisfaction politically? Its a big question, take your time.

Fine then, lets impeach the guy, forget that they ever existed or pretend they didn't and don't now and hope it doesn't come back to bite us in the ass. Thats a great approach. Lets just act like it was never a problem and hope it goes away on its own. have you ever bothered to considered that the "lying" goes on with both sides of this? Did you ever stop to think that there might be a politcally selfish reason on both sides or are you so sure of your position that you think you have been "clued in" for purely unselfish reasons? I don't trust W but I sure the hell don't trust Hussein and thats what you have to do to justify the position you just presented. I've said it before that i could care less if he's impeached but whoever takes the helm, I don't want their heads in the sand while someone kicks them in the rear. You are making dangerous suppositions on the word of a mad man. I trust no one and neither should you. Its not worth a balcony view of a mushroom cloud to get my political jollies...is it yours?

It is not justified to jump to the conclusion that something exists just because it is unaccounted for, espically on the basis of war and peace

It was the responsibility of Iraq to account for all these. We know they existed before and there was no proof of destruction and no account for where they are so if we assume one way or another in this, do we assume they didn't exist even though we saw them stockpiled and we saw them used and we were witness to their power merely on the word of the Iraqi information minister? I remind you of their truthfulness during the war. I say your reaching, really reaching for no more a justified reason than politics.
