You get your timelines wrong, and it distorts your conclusions. The document may have been discovered in 1998, but it referred to events a decade earlier. Too bad you're illiterate... Otherwise I would spell it out for you... However, for the sake of the "audience" at large... It doesn't matter what period of time the document related to. Because it clearly showed that out of an inventory of 19,000 chemical warheads, only 13,000 had been expended during the Iran-Iraq war. Thus, 6,000 warheards are unaccounted for... No evidence of destruction, but sufficient evidence that the Iraqis continued to carry them as current inventory, despite supposedly having destroyed them all by 1992. And to morons like TP, it doesn't matter that the best evidence is NOT what the Iraqis give to the UN, but what is obtained through surprise inspecttions such as that one... And it was apparent the UNSCOM inspectors had not been expected to find this vital document by the way in which their "minder" confiscated it, never to be seen again. That means it was for "internal consumption" of the Baathist government, not for viewing by the UNSCOM inspectors (who should have already been provided the document in 1991). This is like a company keeping two sets of financial books and disclosing only one set to the Feds. But then during a search warrant, the Feds discover a page from the other set... TP, and his ilk, would have you believe that, once such evidence of deception has been uncovered, we should just ignore it and rely solely on the "official" books.... Because it's far too inconvenient to chase anomalies and evidence of lying in a investigation like this one.. After all, the whole goal seems to have been to just close the case and get on with business as usual, not find the truth. And even more cynical, they now want to accuse the "cops" of overzealousnous by taking out the bad guy who was endangering the entire neighborhood. Hawk
