Yeah, Thompson is technically correct.

Hussein had WMD prior to the invasion.

About a decade prior to the invasion, that is.

Dead Kurds and Iranians provide ample proof. The question should be...did Iraq have WMDs on Sept 11 . If not, then they couldn't have secretly given them to terrorists....and therefore presented NO IMMINENT THREAT to America, as the Bush Administration claimed.
