Calpundit compiles a list of people — other than Scott Ritter — who voiced skepticism about the Iraqi WMD threat. It’s an interesting list of quotes, but as Calpundit very honestly notes, very, very few of the skeptics believed there were no WMDs. In fact, Calpundit could find only one person who was anything close to unequivocal at the time, Vladimir Putin. And, for most of us, Putin was less than a completely reliable source considering Russia’s ties to Iraq. The issue for pretty much everyone else was whether or not Iraq posed a serious or imminent threat, not whether or not it had WMDs.
