<<The whole "there are no WMDs" argument borders on the frivolous. The evidence is overwhelming that Saddam had them, the fact that they can't be found notwithstanding>> This is an excellent example of the duplicitous nature of rationalisation among the Bush supporters. I guess now it's frivolous that the main reason for the imminent danger posed to our National Security didn't exist at all. If this situation was taking place with Clinton in control you'd be screaming blue murder.....you know it and I know it! What's even more amusing about your post is that you open up by saying how unimportant it is NOW about the wmd's then you follow that up with 4 points to try and corroborate their existense. If it's such a "frivolous" point why are you still trying to make a case for them!! Also, it seems that you can freely accept being lied to by the people you think so highly of. Your objectivity on these matters is questionable to say the least. guardian.co.uk guardian.co.uk sify.com commondreams.org This is obviously not over yet but it's looking more and more like Blix was right after all. Someone posted an article here during the week by Friedman (one of this administration's darlings) who stated that we were basically at war with the Flinstones!! Imminent threat due to weapons of mass destruction and links to Al-Qaeda were the "reasons" for the danger posed by Iraq....we're 0 for 2 on the validity of both. The link between us and the international community is growing wider by the day but what the heck?!?!? Might makes right.....right?!?!? Hell, we've got Spain, Portugal, Poland et al with us.....who needs "old Europe"??? Those stinkin' Russians and Chinese are just as bad!! The damage being done to our reputation by the Neo-colonialists is simply incredible...what a shame! << The whole line of discussion is simply ludicrous.>> We submitted "evidence" to the international community to support our case for war. They questioned it and as the days roll by it becomes more clear why this was the case. If we don't come up with wmd's and credible links to Al-Qaeda this administration's legacy will be one of lies and deceit and unacceptable damage to hard worked for links with our friends and allies. It's only just beginning.....like it or not, this dog is gonna hunt! MON.
