I also haven't seen you discuss the role France, Germany, or Russia have played in providing WMD capability.. For the record, I understand and accept that France, Germany, Russia, as well as the US and UK, have provided Iraq with WMD capability. Happy now? I see you have this apparent obsession with "who did what" Who did what is important. It is not an obsession. it doesn't really matter who sold dual-use technology to Iraq It matters that they have covered it up.
