Why Does Saddam Pose An Imminent Threat?

During the past few months, there has been much written and discussed by various terrorism experts, journalists, pundits and politicos regarding the subject of Saddam Hussein's rogue regime. But given the complexity of the issues under examination, it's been difficult to convey a clear and coherent message that adequately addresses the imminent peril posed by Saddam Hussein and the need to oust him from power as soon as possible. In order to make the case for war against the current Iraqi regime, it really comes down to two questions that need to be answered in a plain and succinct manner: 1) Which Weapons of Mass Destruction are currently in the hands of the Iraqis, according to our intelligence sources? And, 2) Why does a dictator such as Saddam Hussein, armed with Weapons of Mass Destruction, pose such a threat to the safety and security of other nations?
And the public needs to understand that the process of disarming the Iraqis, pursuant to UN Resolution 1441, places the onus or obligation directly upon the Iraqis to be thoroughly forthcoming and cooperative with UN officials - the Iraqis are responsible to divulge weapons sites and to provide UN inspectors with their prohibited weaponry. This is not supposed to be a game of Hide the Easter Eggs, with 100 arms inspectors searching in vain while they are being systematically thwarting in the efforts by the Iraqi government. In a nation the size of California, it's going to be virtually impossible for arms inspectors to locate forbidden weaponry, which is hidden in a plethora of underground tunnels and bunkers, mobile units, and even in the private residences of the Iraqi citizenry.
As to question #1, please note that there is already myriad information out in the public sphere that addresses the catastrophic weaponry in Saddam Hussein's arsenal. And the following represents just a brief overview and a smattering of the extensive information already available to any individual that chooses to research this subject matter.

All those who doubt that Saddam has weapons should read this.
