not as obvious as you may think. A lot of Europeans were trying to make the claim that it came from another country (you know since Saddam had no WMDs etc)and of course that it was Bush's fault for it being there. So while to most non-psychotic people it seems silly, not necearrily so for Democrats.
Spoken with tongue largely in cheek, of course - I do understand your point.
Oh, it's even worse than that. Someone emailed me something from a 'Rat source stating that if it was sarin, then probably Rumsfield himself planted it on his recent visit. Groannnnnn.
