Actually, what you and the political left (including the media and the Congressional Democrats) fail to realize the is that the absence of a smoking gun IS the smoking gun.

LOL! I hope you are never put on trial for murder, pg.

The prosecutor would be certain to quote your words to the jury. You'd be dead meat, even with an ironclad alibi and a dozen priests and nuns as character witnesses.

Vis-a-vis the smoking gun, why do we even need one? Iraq's already in material breach, or hadn't you noticed?

Taking words out of context to make your point (which you failed to do) shows the depth of your argument... shallow.

The REASON the smoking gun IS the absense of the smoking gun is because the burden of proof is on Saddam Hussein. We know he had the weapons in the 80's and we know he had them in the 90's. THE POINT is that he will produce no evidence that he has destroyed said weapons IAW U.N. resolutions. Therefore, said weapons still exist and are in hiding and he is being less than forthcoming.

By not understanding what you are talking about (like the media), you propagate a false notion regarding the purpose for the inspections. We're not looking for weapons... we're looking for the evidence that they're gone.
