Israel also acted as if Saddam had WMD; now, they can relax

Israel will collect gas masks from its citizens, who have had them for more than a decade as protection against possible chemical and biological attacks, according to a television report Sunday.

Channel Two TV said the masks would be stored in army warehouses, reflecting a perceived decrease in the threat of such attacks against Israel after the fall of Saddam Hussein.

It seems things are truly starting to look up in the Middle East because the US and her Coalition partners and friends put some real force into all those UN resolutions last year.
Clearly, Israeli intell, as well as the CIA and President Bush (and every other intell agency on the planet), thought Saddam posed a true WMD threat for at least 10 years and prepared accordingly and at great expense, according to this story.
I only hope that Saddam didn't wheel some of his bio/chem weapons over into Syria and Lebanon and that the Israelis aren't giving up these gas masks prematurely...Fingers crossed.
