Even the SCOTUS is fed up with Bush's nonsense.

Yes, oh. Lots of the chems were never accounted for after the Gulf War.
And some keeps coming back even today, like in artillery shells used as
IEDs.


According to the UN, 500 mustard gas shells remained unaccounted for.
Not 'lots' in a military sense.

What is your justification in your use of the plural in 'artillery s
hells used as IEDs.'? Willful exaggeration or wistful thinking
since the one Arain trap used was ineffective.


Based on previous posts, its obvious to me that you never read the offical
report from Kay. Perhaps you could look up the part where he said the
Iraqis weren't in compliance with UN resolutions and had programs still
running even after the inspections.


Perhaps you should read again what he cited as 'evidence'.


So let me try again......if you
can't believe the President's own man, who do you believe? How about
answering
THAT question, if you don't mind.

I DO believe Mr Kay. Iraq DID have illegal programs in place despite UN
resolutions. Now, why do YOU not believe Mr Kay? It seems your position is
at odds with his now.

Let me begin by saying, we were almost all wrong,
and I certainly include myself here.

Sen. [Edward] Kennedy knows very directly. Senator
Kennedy and I talked on several occasions prior to
the war that my view was that the best evidence that
I had seen was that Iraq indeed had weapons of mass
destruction.

I would also point out that many governments that
chose not to support this war -- certainly, the
French president, [Jacques] Chirac, as I recall
in April of last year, referred to Iraq's possession
of WMD.

The Germans certainly -- the intelligence service
believed that there were WMD.

It turns out that we were all wrong, probably in
my judgment, and that is most disturbing.
