They probably would plant them if they could get away with it, but they couldn't. Too much documentation already to be able to tie something in convincingly. And then to make the chem/bio weapons Iraqi style would be very difficult. Probably be impossible to pass off even sloppy American as Iraqi material.

Inside the Beltway By John McCaslin Kerry's war Suffice it to say that Democratic presidential hopeful John Kerry has made "Iraqgate" the theme of his campaign. On virtually every stump he's stood on this week, the Massachusetts Democrat has complained that President Bush sidestepped the congressionally approved path to war by bypassing the United Nations, by not building an international coalition, and simply by not doing what it was that he had promised to do (actually, one could argue that the senator is wrong on all three counts). Forget that Mr. Kerry voted in favor of the Iraq war resolution. He did so, he now says, with the understanding that Mr. Bush would exhaust every remedy first. What was the big hurry, in other words. But let's revisit Nov. 17, 1997, when nobody else in Washington except the Inside the Beltway column led with an item headlined, "Finish the mission." "Debate on whether to take out Saddam Hussein, the Iraqi strongman, is over as far as one Democratic senator is concerned," or so we had written. "Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts is calling for a 'strong' military attack in response to the Iraqi leader's 'horrific objective of amassing a stockpile of weapons of mass destruction.' " Weapons of mass destruction? That's what Mr. Kerry called them. "As the senator points out, military might is the only language Saddam knows — and fears.'Saddam Hussein should pay a grave price, in a currency that he understands and values, for his unacceptable behavior,' says Mr. Kerry. 'This should not be a strike consisting only of a handful of cruise missiles hitting isolated targets primarily of presumed symbolic value. But how long this military action might continue and how it may escalate ... and how extensive it would reach are for the [White House National] Security Council and our allies to know and for Saddam Hussein to find out!' " Just as you wished, Senator. washtimes.com
