Hi Neocon; Re: "He in effect says ..." This is just another admission that you have zero quotes from Blix saying that he thought that Iraq had WMDs in late 2002 or early 2003. Keep on looking, liar. Look, the whole problem with your "proof" that Iraq had WMDs was that it took every single statement or fact, and interpreted it in the absolute worst case against Iraq, while ignoring every single statement or fact that exonerated them. The result? You got us stuck in an unwinnable war that will make Republicans unpopular with the swing vote for a decade. And the absence of WMDs just makes Bush look that much more foolish. If the abortion laws weren't already about as liberal as they could be, I'd accuse you of contributing to the death of untold millions of unborn babies. Using quotes from Blix, Carter or Clinton as evidence that Iraq had WMDs fails for three reasons. First, none of those guys ever said that Iraq still had WMDs in late 2002 or early 2003. Second, each one of them was against the war and in favor of more inspections. And finally of course, no WMDs were found. It was Bush and friends who were running around saying that Iraq had WMDs, oodles of them, right there arrayed near Baghdad, and ready to rain down on US troops with only a 45 minute warning. Blix, Clinton and Carter never said anything like that. At best, all they ever said (in late 2002 early 2003) was that Iraq had not proved that its WMDs were all destroyed, and that it might have them. -- Carl
