Hi Neocon; Re: "Not every country has chemical suits arrayed for immediate use, nor toxin specific antidotes ready to stumble upon."
The chemical suits were stored ready to use, just like we keep ours. The whole motto of the Boy Scout is "Be Prepared", what do you expect from the military?
Re: "I have no idea where you get your information, but it does not conform to anything I have read or heard. There was much more material there than was expected, and a lot of it was found on the black market in Europe."
More weasel words from a dishonorable and cowardly liar, and as usual, no links. Or is there something specific that you wanted me to reference?
Re: "Iraq was specifically involved in inventorying its weapons during the '90s, and the discrepancies, which were never really explained, ..."
Iraq gave an explanation for it. Their explanation was acceptable to most of the world. What you really mean to say is that Iraq's explanation was not accepted by Bush (who was so damned sure that he knew where they were that he cut his own dick off, politically, starting an unwinnable war based on the premise that they would quickly be found).
Re: "Blix clearly did not think it was normal "seepage", but thought that the stockpiles existed himself."
Look, my opinion is that you are a complete liar who loves to misquote. Why don't you prove me wrong by coming up with a quote from Blix, dated to late 2002 or early 2003, verifying that he believed in the existence of WMD stockpiles in Iraq. The truth is that Blix said that the Iraqis had not proved that WMDs were destroyed, not that he believed in their existence, liar. Hey, go find the quote and I will apologize right on this thread to you. Or live with being a liar.
Re: "It is clear that only the threat of the US buildup yielded any cooperation, and what cooperation there was occured in a circumstance when the Iraqis had a fair idea of what kind of facilities the inspectors were interested in, and could clear them out."
Since no WMDs were used or found, it's clear that your explanation is a fantasy.
Re: "These are the facts, and why it seems worthless to lob accounts back and forth with you."
Your facts are not facts. They're just your fantasies, generated to give you justification for a murderous policy that will haunt the United States and the Republican party for many years.
