[Wild Irish Rogue]

A former CIA officer was on Fox today and reminded everyone that it took the UN inspectors 4 years of searching,after the first Gulf War, to locate Saddam's bio/chem sites.The assumption that because they have not been "found" after 72 days,does not mean they do not or did not exist. As Sec Rumsfeld said-" We haven't found Saddam yet,but, we know he existed."I would rather a meticulous,painstaking search, rather than a hastily declared WMD free Iraq. I can only imagine the Holy Hell that would be raised, if the US threw up their hands and declared Iraq a WMD free country and they overlooked a cave or basement or garage or attic containing anthrax or VX and it was subsequently used in an attack.I can hear the wailing and shreiking now-Why was the US so sloppy in their search ? Why did they do such a poor job of searching ? ad infinitum, ad nauseam. And again, I wish to remind the "Where are the WMD after one thousand,seven hundred and twenty eight hours??" crowd, that the " we" that hasn't found them yet-are the guys dodging RPGs and snipers,sleeping on the ground,eating MREs,away from their families for months,sweating in 108 degree heat,cleaning themselves with baby wipes,living in dirt and sand and peril-sorry, if they are not hustling fast enough for you.
