Specifically....what day could be celebrated as "No WMD Day"?

Maybe when Clinton and Blair bombed the **** out of Iraq in 1998

Yeah, right.

" *International Inspections no longer constrain Saddam's Weapons of Mass
destruction (WMD) programs. Up to and during Operation Desert Fox,
Administration officials expended considerable energy explaining to the
international community, Congress, and the American people why it was
necessary to use force to compel Saddam to submit to comprehensive
international inspections. Without inspections, we were told, Saddam could
begin to reconstitute his WMD capabi1ity within a matter of weeks. Operation
Desert Fox was necessary to compel him to stop obstructing inspections.
Since Operation Desert Fox, however, there have been no inspections at all.
Now, rather than emphasize the danger that Iraq's WMD programs may be
reconstituted, Administration officials apparently claim that they have "no
evidence" that Saddam is reconstituting his capabilities. In fact, there is
considerable evidence that Iraq continues to seek to develop and acquire
weapons of mass destruction."
