Nadine, we also NOW know that Saddam was nuts, out of touch of reality. We also NOW know that his WMD "program" was nonexistent, and that no one knew what the heck they were doing. It was a bitterly dark tragi-comedy of vaporous aspirations, errors, miscommunications, fear, and incompetence. They were the mouse that roared. And we NOW know that even if Khan or North Korea was willing to sell nuclear know-how, they couldn't get it going in Libya or anywhere else (other, of course, than Pakistan). And that buried centrifuge was old, rusty and useless.
I could go on, but it would be useless. |
