Hi Neocon; Re: "Thanks, Baghdad Bob."
Nice to confirm that you are unable to answer my comments. Let me repeat them again in short form, maybe you'll try harder this time:
(1) Every significant military on the planet has large numbers of CBW suits. Iraq has been attacked with chemical weapons (from Iran), so it's natural that Iraq would keep stockpiles of CBW suits and various antidotes.
(2) The uranium in Iraq was well known from before the war, was not significantly more radioactive than the depleted uranium that the US shot into the country, was apparently not considered a threat by the US military which didn't bother to guard it from looters, and never showed up in the hands of terrorists.
(3) The fact that Iraq could not prove the destruction of all its chemical weapons is hardly a surprise. The same could be said of every major country that ever produced reasonably large volumes of the stuff. Armies just lose stuff by their very nature, especially during wartime.
(4) While Iraq was hiding WMD stuff in the past, their actions in late 2002 and early 2003 were not at all like their earlier behavior. The fact is that they welcomed inspectors, allowed them to inspect anywhere in the country, without notice, and the inspectors managed to find almost no WMDs. The US had no evidence that Iraq had WMDs in late 2002 or 2003, and found none after the invasion.
These are the facts, the facts that make it clear that what Bush did was dishonorable. But all you can come up with is an insult: "Baghdad Bob".
