54 these days is not what it used to be. I am not there yet but my Babe still stands. In addition your comments reflect nothing on our origin issue--Suadi Arabia and al-Qaeda vs Iraq and al-Qaeda. I don't buy that we don't want to let the bad guys know where it is. The bad guys would already know where it is since the Iraqi bad guys put them there and since they work with al-Qaeda - they would know too!!!!
So that argument sinks not swims.
No, the argument doesn't sink. If there is more than one set of bad guys in Iraq (which I belive there are) most wouldn't know where the stuff is. In fact, most of Saddam's former government probably didn't know. You have Shiites from Iran hooked up with the mullahs, Al Qaueda, representatives of Hammas and Hezbollah, Russian mafia, radical Kurds, and general crooks, ALL of whom would like to get their hands on this stuff and sell it to a high bidder.
So YOUR argument doesn't fly.
