The Bush administration told the American nation that Saddam Hussein had hundreds of tons of weapons of mass destruction that he was ready to use against the United States. "We know where they are," said U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. But now the alleged WMDs are nowhere to be found, and the question being asked is why the administration thought they were there in the first place.
