>>If rhe report states what I see as clear and compelling evidence that it was reasonable for saddam's bluff to be not discounted as an imaginary threat, then saddam was a real threat.<<

Thomas -

I hadn't realized that you were the ultimate decision maker, and that if you are convinced, it must therefore absolutely be so.

Please pardon me for taking the ISG report to mean what it says.

PS: Just one minor point. You haven't provided any quotes from the report that indicate Saddam was a real threat. You've only quoted the same two sentences about how he wanted to be one. Are those two sentences, then, the whole of the "clear and compelling evidence" you are citing?
