Hi i-node; Re: "But there were chemical weapons found in 2006, and while in a degraded condition would have still been valuable in the hands of terrorists. And it proof that (a) they existed, and (b) can be difficult to find and in fact, Blix didn't find them.";
This is the kind of excuse that only a completely worthless liar and idiot could come up with as an excuse for murdering a hundred thousand people. It's not proportional.
The US loses chemical weapons and they would be "valuable in the hands of terrorists". For that matter, fertilizer is "valuable in the hands of terrorists" and the US has heaping piles of the stuff. And the fact is that the US, unlike Iraq, hasn't had its territory used as a battlefield recently. But still, look at what happens in your own country before you go off on the accounting defects of pathetic 3rd world countries like Iraq:
Three Bomb Experts Hurt by Mustard Gas in U.S.
Reuters, August 4, 2004
The U.S. Army on Tuesday urged Delaware residents to be cautious after three Air Force bomb disposal experts were injured by mustard gas from a World War I weapon dredged off America's coast. The three from Dover Air Force base were hurt last month after they examined a rusty weapons shell dumped on a driveway in Bridgeville, Delaware, along with crushed sea shells used as surface cover on the drive, said a spokeswoman from the base.
The weapon is believed to be a surplus munition from World War I dumped at sea and was later identified as containing the dangerous blister agent, mustard gas.
An Army spokeswoman in Washington said the military was trying to find the exact source of the weapon and the Army Corps of Engineers had been sent to the area to investigate.
"We do realize that this is a public safety concern and so if anyone comes into contact with something like this they need to call 911. Don't touch anything," said the spokeswoman.
Cpl. Helen Zane of the Delaware State Police said rusted surplus munitions dumped at sea often turned up among sea shells used to cover driveways.
"It's really not uncommon in downstate Delaware to find mortars and other things on driveways," said Zane. "But this is the first time we have ever heard of any mustard gas."

If the US can't keep track of its own WMDs, why should we use the same problem in Iraq as an excuse to start a war that killed thousands after thousands and that continues to reverberate in the region? I mean really, moronic war-heads and neocons in the Republican party are responsible for Obama getting elected twice. After what you did in Iraq, how did you expect that the swing voters would trust a Republican in office?
Now it's time to man-up. Admit your evil mistake and own up to the error. Or do you want to keep the electorate voting in democrats for the rest of time? Well with any luck Obama is just as dishonorable as you are and his inability to recognize that what they did to healthcare was wrong will pay for your dishonesty.
