I never understood this one. The fact is we know the anthrax was weapons quality marital but we never linked this to Iraq? Why didn’t we check if it came from the same labs as that we knew existed in Iraq?
And then we have the recenet statements by two (at least) generals in the Iraqi Military undert Saddam about the movement just prior to our attack of the WMD to Syria, and to Russia. The reports of Russian spetznatz special agents detroying evidences of Russian involvments with Iraq's military and WMD programs, and the recent translations of now public Iraq military and government documents -- to the readiness and preparations for restart of of the nuke program ASAP after the weapons inspectors were vacated from the premises -- and efforts via the French, Germans and Russians being bribed to assure that such vacancy would soon happen, had not George Bush acted when he did.
Denial of danger is an easy out that has taken many men to their graves and destroyed whole cities and, at times, nations.
