Duelfer’s Bombshell
daily.nysun.com

Sarin. Mustard gas. Botulinum. Cyanide salt. It’s getting harder to claim that there were no weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. These columns argued against making disarmament the main reason for war, preferring an emphasis on freedom and democratization as outlined in the Iraq Liberation Act. Still, the disclosures remind us that we’d much rather have American soldiers and intelligence officers hunting for these weapons on foreign soil. The alternative would be to have American police and firemen and FBI agents swarming over the scene of a terrorist attack here in New York, trying to figure out after the fact what deadly substance had been used against us and where it came from.


What a dumb argument. We are supposed to feel much safer because we found 10 leftover sarin devices that Saddam didn't know he had, and wouldn't have used if he did know. But we must not give any thought to the possibility that there are another 10 that we didn't find, which are now available on the black market; those are perfectly harmless, apparently.
