I mean where abouts do you obtain WMD from? Creating WMD is not an easy process and it doesn't grow on trees.
Then once they have gone and created it, how do they get it into Iraq without being noticed? Do you think they can carry it on a plane flying into Baghdad or do they bring it across one of the borders like Kuwait or Turkey.
Once it's planted, how do you make sure it is not traceable seeing as only a few countries would be capable of producing it.
The argument that it would be easy to plant WMD is laughable and can be easily dismissed when it is much, much easier for the perpetrators to lie about it with scary talk of AQ, underground bunkers and 45 minutes to launch threats.
Would seem easy enough. Since "WMDs" seems a fairly wide category, all they'd need to do would be to ship a few barrels of some sort of chemical (it wouldn't have to be nuclear) over from US stocks, surreptitiously among lots of other supplies, or obtain it from a friendly neighbour (looks at Israel, perhaps), through a number of third parties to add deniability, put them on a truck, take 'em out somewhere quiet and bury them in the sand. Risk of detection: negligible (who, after all, would be likely to detect you except your own forces?), difficulty: minimal, deniability: plenty. I mean, obviously, the barrels wouldn't have "MADE IN THE USA (or Israel)" or "PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVERNMENT" on them, and it wouldn't be able to prove that they'd have come from US stocks. Now, while I see Q and Turbo's points about it all having been a fait accompli by then, I still think that, if the Bush government had been as cunning and ruthless as the 9/11 plot would imply, it would have been worth adding that extra touch to add verisimilitude to it.
