If you're not feeling pretty stupid by now, you should be.
Well, if I'm "feeling stupid", then I'm in good company.. including the UNSCOM inspectors who confiscated that document in 1998 which stated that Iraq had lied about the number of chemical warheads it had expended during the Iran-Iraq war.. By the tune of 6,000 warheads that were, AND REMAIN, unaccounted for..
This was ACCORDING TO IRAQI RECORDS, not something the US or UNSCOM made up.. The Iraqis produced this information, which they obviously thought they had hidden or destroyed so it wouldn't fall into the hands of the UNSCOM inspectors.
Shortly thereafter, Saddam stopped cooperating with UNSCOM. That led to the withdrawal of the inspectors and Clinton's "Desert Fox" air attack (that accomplished nothing).
So TP, if you're so "smart".. Explain to us why the Iraqis deliberately produced a report that claimed they expended more weapons than they actually possessed?? (since you claim they don't even exist)...
They, the Iraqis, believed they existed.. because they built them and were required to account for them to Saddam. But somehow, somewhere, they disappeared. POOF!! Into thin air...
And now they are claiming they just destroyed them without properly accounting for them.. Makes a lot of sense that a absolutely paranoid totalitarian regime would care less about properly accounting for weapons that could be turned against them by rival factions...
And of course, you're stupid enough to utterly believe it all...
And now morons like yourself are suddenly claiming that these weapons didn't exist at all... Even though that argument DEFIES the evidence PRODUCED BY THE IRAQIS THEMSELVES!!!!
