The problem with your presentation, Bud, is that it has the stench of mouth-foaming leftist propaganda to it. You claim that "RUMSFELD IGNORED WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION IN PURSUIT OF OIL PIPELINE" when the "article" you cited claimed no such thing. At "worst" it only showed that Rummy was once out to get an oil pipeline. It does not show him ignoring anything. He may well have been working against the weapons, but perhaps not as intensely as currently simply because 911 had not happened in the 1980s. Moreover, since the weapons were apparently being used against Iran, a worse enemy than even Iraq, ending them likely was not as great a priority as it is now. It is a greater priority now because Saddam used them to attack his own people. He also attacked Kuwait, our ally and he has refused to uphold his obligations to the world community to disarm.

You employ fallacies to make a point that likely is quite false.
