That would not work. My theory is, if Saddam does not use any WMD, then only one of two possible things can be true -- either he does not have them (and hence, we have been lied to), or he is not the threat he has been portrayed as (and we have been lied to). If you have them, and you are being attacked with death certain, you use them if you are even a little crazy. I certainly don't want to see something happen in the USA or to the troops, but without it, it sure makes the US machine look less than truthful and the oil/money theory more believable.

I remain,

ps I'd like to hear Slider's take on this. Might be hard to rationalize while wanting the general market to go up and gold to tank, however?
