After Ron Reagan pressed me to admit our casus belli was a tissue of lies...

Ron Reagan is the greatest living proof as to why the Monarchial system of government was fatally flawed.

You might be right about the Sarin itself, but the whole chemical warhead (and we have several dozen Iraqi warheads) leaves a more complex Iraqi mark on it. About yellowcake being yellowcake, you are incorrect. The relative percentages of uranium isotopes would dictate where in the world it was mined. That wouldn't necessarily point to Iraq on its own, but would offer clues.

I had touched a nerve: by the time I got home, the "Media Matters for America" blog had accused me of lying, and dozens of nearly identical e-mails (on the intellectual plane of, "liar, liar, pants on fire") were pouring in.

Hey TX - must be the same folks that like you so much! ROFLMBO!!

Yellowcake isn't a "WMD" anyway.

Only way it could kill you would be if somebody dropped a drum of it out a third-story window onto your head as you walked by.

".. going to war without France is like going deer hunting without an accordion. You just leave a lot of useless noisy baggage behind.
-Jed Babbin, former deputy undersecretary of defense in the first Bush administration"

Hey, stop insulting the accordion! I still play the thing.

I have been known to clear a room in 5 minutes. I call it Accordion Assault.

YOu know there are films of Saddam using WMDs against Kurdish people. He is, in fact, going on trial for his life for having done that.

I find it amazing that anyone could possibly suggest that there were no WMDs.

Yellowcake is not all identical. Some sources of Uranium ore were depleted millions of years ago, and it's possible to differentiate them as a result.

It still looks the same though.

I've been saying it all along. There ARE WMD.

Can't say much more, but there ARE.

No doubt.

How will Bush prove that the newly find WMD-s are not planted?

No sane person would believe that after President Bush has won re-election of his second term that he would at that point have WMD planted. If he were inclined to do that, which in itself is a silly idea, it would have been before November 2, 2004.

There's not the slightest doubt in my mind that Saddam had WMDs in 1988.

Anyhow, it's way past my bedtime!

Personally, I've always thought that the WMD's that Libia gave up (that the US didn't know they had) were the WMD's that Saddam moved out of the country before the war.

So basicly we already found the WMD's and are in possession of them.

Saddam is himself WMD.

"...and let's ignore the time limitation on efficacy for most of the hypothesized WMDs..."

Uh, just FYI, binary munitions don't "have" a "limitation on efficacy", and neither do MOST non-binary types. US WMD stocks from WWII are still viable and quite dangerous--which is why it has been so slow and difficult to destroy them.

Furthermore, it wasn't a bunch of Iraq janitor's looting those factories.
It was a very well managed group of Russian technicians performing a deconstruction, NOT a demolition.

"Even though the Liberals/Leftist machine of propaganda against president Bush and the Iraq war doesn't hold water and is baseless ( the WMDs WILL BE FOUND ) .... once the WMDs are found, and the worlds gets to see that President Bush was RIGHT, it will be interesting to see how the liberal/leftist/anti-America crowd will spin themselves out of a corner and tie themselves in knots."

Let me try.

1. See, we told you the WMD's weren't in Iraq.
2. See, we told you that there were in fact WMD's in Iraq.
3. OK, there are WMD's. So how do we know that that is all of them? If they never left Iraq, they wouldn't be scattered across the globe in the hands of the terrorists.
4. John Bolton knew this and didn't say anything about it. What is Bolton covering up?
5. George Bush knew the WMD's went to Syria and chose to fight a meaningless war in Iraq rather than go after the real culprit, Assad. Look, here is a memo from Dan Rather saying this. Oh, the date of July 1999? Ignore that, the intent was there although the document may be false.

Should I continue?

"Let's suppose for the sake of argument that they were sent to Syria, and let's ignore the time limitation on efficacy for most of the hypothesized WMDs, do you think that the Syrians would have a big fat MADE IN IRAQ label on them? "

No, everyone is concerned that the WMD's say "MADE IN THE USSR" or "MADE IN FRANCE."

This is what held us up in the 6 months leading up to the war.
