msi,

re:I heard the Iraqi ambassador to the UN claim the records and the warheads were destroyed already.

Well gosh, if he said it - then it must be true.

re:Where does that leave us?

a) further inspections as in South Africa, which took 2 years to dismantle and confirm their WMD program

b) kill thousands or hundreds of thousands of innocents, and, then inspect some more.



SA fully cooperated with the disarmament program. Saddam threw them out - or have you forgotten? Saddam has already had 12 years to dismantle the programs.

re:They also claim even with military occupation a couple scientists in a basement somewhere could work on chem or bio warfare, without much guarantee of detection.


Yes, but without state sponsorship they'd have a hard time.

re:Under (b) terrorism will increase in the US, according to the CIA


We're the great Satan, it doesn't matter.

I'm for b), which of course is Saddams choice, he can comply with the UN or fight a coalition - his choice.
