"I saw videos of those trailers!,,,they were almost empty shells with almost no way to decide what they once were.....Colin Powell was putting on a brave face and hoping! "

You saw these videos BEFORE the attack on Iraq? Or was this more hind-sight?

"so? If he was in technical violation in some way, that is grounds for sanctions and more investigations..NOT, as I have said, full scale war, when there was NO concrete evidence he had any serious weapons!!!!!! "

There were already sanctions ( being violated by France) and more investigations- Don't you remember the resolution in October, with an attack in, what, March? And did you read the British report?

Have a good night. Sleep well.
