Iraq possesses proscribed chemical and biological weapons and missiles.
Iraq could make a nuclear weapon in months to a year once it acquires sufficient weapons-grad fissile material.

If they were most highly confident about all these points, the lack of detection means something went stealth and that should have been an obvious panic button pusher. |
To you it does. You are doing nothing but making a guess. No proof and that one statement points out in a big way that the other two statements are questionable. |
It requires nothing more than the simple reading of 4 lines of English.
And, repeat, these points are marked by intel as being highly confident in their accuracy.
In fact, there would have been very little for any president to "guess" if these points were considered accurate and the safety of 300,000,000 fellow countrymen was assumed at stake.
