Because that's the basis for the belief that Saddam's regime still possesed Chemical Warheads.

Hawk,

Your line of reasoning here has merit.

But how do you explain the pre-war statements from the administration that said, in effect, we know where the WMDs are? Rummy even mentioned a few rather specific locations.

And the intel on WMD sites that was given to Blix that repeatedly turned up nothing?

Hi Hawkmoon; Re: "Yes or no.. Did the Iraqis fake that document discovered in 1998: ..."

It don't matter. That was 1998. Back when Clinton was in office.

Bush is in trouble for telling us that the Iraqis had WMDs in 2003, not in 1998.

Heck, we all already knew that the Iraqis lied in 1998.

What's at issue is the question of who was telling the truth in 2003, not in 1998.

This type of evidence might be used to show why Bush would hesitate to believe Saddam was telling the truth. But Bush did not tell us that he was doubtful of Saddam. What he said, and what he had his minions repeat, was that he had cold hard proof that Saddam was still lying in 2003.

In short, your long post is just another example of what every liar does when caught in a lie. He points out another liar and says that he wasn't the only one.

But nice try at changing the subject.
