If the 155-mm shell was a "dud" fired long ago - which is highly likely - then it would not be evidence of the secret stockpile of weapons of mass destruction (WMD) that the Bush administration used as justification to invade Iraq.His entire argument is based on a BIG "if". He doesn't even show how it's highly likely that the round was a "dud"....unless he believes the information he received from the Iraqis.
Maybe he asked Bagdad Bob.

Just exactly what enemy was Saddam shooting at, there along the Syrian border? Or did the users cart a dud from the Iranian border all of the way across Iraq to the Syrian border to set a trap?
