You go from the definitive "there were none", to the wishy-washy "point very strongly to there being none" in one post.

Yes, I am personally sure that there were none after this much search time, BUT, if you want to hold out hope that somewhere in the desert, there is a secret stash of those weapons, go ahead and hope. You can keep on hoping for the rest of your life, if you like. But most rational people have already given up or will in the next few months, certainly by November 2004.

Most rational people have also realized that the Bush doctrine of pre-emptive war is not too useful. There is great risk of erroneously attacking a harmless nation. On its first try, that is exactly what happened.

Do you know how to handle a schoolyard bully? You kick his rear until he apologizes for getting in your way. Same thing works among nations. Preemptive war IS effective. It can be carried to extremes, but this has not been done, in this case and in the case of Afghanistan.

BTW, most rational people know you aren't. I think I smell troll.

Un-freaking-believable.

And ONCE AGAIN you completely ignore the justification for war!

We didn't attack a nation - we attacked the Hussein regime.

Hans Blix, former chief U.N. weapons inspector, said he imagined "Gadhafi could have been scared by what he saw happen in Iraq."
