Let's stay with my argument for a moment. If we know that Iraq HAD WMDs, because we gave WMDs to Iraq, as Zonder, and others, argue, then the question becomes, not "can we prove they still have them," but "can they prove that they don't have them anymore," doesn't it?
Unless you buy the argument that they actually destroyed the WMDs but, dang, the dog ate their homework so they can't prove it.
That may satisfy you and Scott Ritter, but the game show host is going "bzzzzt! wrong answer!"
This ain't Socratic dialectics here. It's real life, and it's show time. Time for Saddam to throw down, or step aside.
If one aircraft carrier is 70,000 tons of diplomacy, then Saddam is staring at 280,000 tons of diplomacy and a lot of Marines, and playing word games is no longer an option. |
