Let me suggest another "what's hard to believe;" it's hard to believe that Iraq had ANY stockpiles of wmds.
I get tired of the Bush people saying how they could hide them in a cellar, a cave, a turkey farm, etc. Of course they could, but Kay's statements were very clear and he obviously wasn't basing them on the premise that he'd painstakingly searched the entire Iraqi Nation.
The thing the "we're not sure" crowd doesn't seem to see, or doesn't want to see, is that while the wmds might be easy to hide, the PEOPLE that were in positions to create them, store them and hide them are in public view. They've been "interrogated," their stories have been compared, their paperwork has been examined and they've clearly been offered huge rewards for information that this Administration could use to justify the war and assure its reelection.
The result; nada, nothing, zip. They've all told the same story; no wmds stockpiles, big or little. That dog just won't hunt and the U.S. government has known that for a long time.
It's time to stop accepting simplistic excuses like "it's easy to hide wmds." Either that or it's time to admit that some of us don't like to think for ourselves. |
