No we don't have to look at it both ways. We don't torture rape and murder our own citizens. We don't torture rape and murder POWs. YOU can look at it both ways, but those of us who live on planet earth don't.
That comment was in regards to the posession of Chemical Protective Gear! While we all know why Saddam's Troops have them - it is not compelling evidence. To try to use it as such only weakens our case - we need to wait for the real stuff before we start with "Proof of WMDs" - otherwise, the left is going to say "Yeah, but Saddam was scared WE were going to use Chem." Totally unbelievable to any non-brain dead person, but, alas, the media and the left ARE brain dead.
