Hi Nadine Carroll; Re: "Let me see - the arguments that Saddam had secretly destroyed his WMDS without telling the UN, so as to continue losing billions in oil revenue for no gain - those are you argument you are calling logically consistent? Didn't you call Saddam's strategy stupid one post ago? Stupid in one post, only logical argument the next. Some consistency."

There's no contradiction. You're comparing apples and oranges. It's quite obvious to all that Saddam's strategy was stupid, it got him thrown out of power, LOL. Saddam's error was made back around 1991-95 when he secretly destroyed WMDs without keeping proof that he'd done it.

His error was in failing to realize that the UN inspectors were going to be so thorough that he would later need to prove that he had destroyed those weapons.

And as for the logic of the arguments that WMDs were massively stockpiled in Iraq, the problem was that no such weapons were found, either by the inspectors before the war, or by the US after the war. Does all your logic work this badly?
