Dick Cheney quote from a year ago:

'Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction; there is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies and against us,' he said in August 2002, when others were advocating more U.N. weapons inspections.

--in light of the quote and the developments that followed, it seems he was:
*dupped--because it wasn't real.
*a liar.
*incompetent--to know precisely where the WMD's were then lose them while they were being 'hidden'

take your pick. i don't know the alternatives. feel free to share.
