Is Bush hinting that we’re not really a ‘free nation’?

I noticed the other day (via Atrios) that Bush offered an interesting comment about Iraq at a White House event on Friday.

“Free nations don’t develop weapons of mass destruction,” Bush said.

While that may sound like a nice sentiment, it raises an important question: Don’t we develop weapons of mass destruction? Indeed, with our arsenal of nuclear missiles, doesn’t the United States have more WMD than any other country?

Just a thought.
