The article you linked to was just another piece of humint that would, in a real intelligence agency, have to be balanced against huge piles of other humint.

Thank you for reconfirming that you possess a knack for the obvious.

But his was an "official" statement, although off the record and anonymous, if factual (which from my own personal conversations represents one of the favored beliefs).

You still deliberately choose to ignore those 6,000 warheads that Iraq FALSELY reported to the UN had been expended during the Iran-Iraq war.

A fact that was only discovered when UNSCOM inspectors discovered an INTERNAL DOCUMENT not meant to be seen by UNSCOM. And after it was confiscated, it was never seen again...

This SINGLE INSTANCE PROVED that there were two sets of "books" being kept related to Iraqi WMDs. Those provided to the UN and those the Iraqis kept for their own internal accountability..

And they HAD TO HAVE internal accountability because Saddam didn't want those warheads just being "lost" since they might be used against himself.

But being the "intelligence professional" you claim to be, surely professionally trained in all the "dark arts", can you sit there and TRUTHFULLY tell us that a totalitarian regime would just haphazardly account for such deadly weapons without having absolute accountability for their disposition and/or destruction.

Not unless you're an "intelligence professional" for some other country like Iraq or Syria, hellbent on sowing such an incredible (and ridiculous) idea.
