How about considering that we are quick to disavow the outrageous behavior
of a
handful of our sadistic jailers as being representative of us as a nation,
but
we deny the Iraqis the same right to disavow the existence of a single
artillery
shell of dubious age filled with Sarin as being representative of an
arsenal of
WMDs they would have used on us if they had existed.

Bad logic. We never declared, as part of a ceasefire agreement from the
*last* conflict, that we had no individuals who could/would commit criminal
acts in our military services. And you seem to be forgetting the other round
reported (mustard), the hiding of equipment and documents related to WMD
development (as reported by Kay in his report), the continuing development
work on ricin (also testified to by Kay), etc....



One sadistic jailer doesn't mean that all of our jailers are sadistic any
more
than one Sarin-filled artillery shell means that all of the artillery
shells the
Iraqis had were filled with Sarin. It took us a whole year to find (or
'fess up
to) one of each.

You are the only ignoramus who has claimed that "all of the artillery shells
the Iraqis had were filled with Sarin". To be completely honest (something
you are, I know, loathe to be), AFAIK we have not found *any* shells "filled
with Sarin". What we have found is the remains of one shell that was filled
with the binary components of sarin (another wee problem, since the Iraqis
never acknowledged having *any* such shells in their possession, at *any*
time--which is another violation...), evidence of their attempting to hide
equipment, documents, and cultures related to bio/chemical warfare programs,
a continuing ricin development effort, etc. But I am quite sure that if it
suits your purpose (being the damning of GWB at all costs, of course), you
will soon assign the "all of the artillery shells" quote to *him* at the
nearest opportunity--who cares if it is accurate, right? Just as you
obviously don't care about accuracy in regards to your "single artillery
shell...filled with Sarin" statement, eh?
