tejek,

re:If you had read my post pertaining to the subject, you would know that's not true.

Reading the inspectors reports is far more accurate than your posts regarding dual use facilities.

re:.....most meaning more than 95%. As it turns out, maybe all.


Even 5% is a problem, that's why the UN went back in, but more important why did they have to go back in, why did they ever leave?

re:Why do you continue to believe Bush when there is considerable evidence to the contrary?

Because the world at large was convinced Iraq retained either WMD or WMD programs and materials. This was not an invention by Bush beginning in 2000, but reaching back decades and supported by at least three administrations.

re:.....how effective is a centrifuge buried in someone's backyard?


Not much until they dig it up. Do you suppose they planned to dig it up after the inspectors left and reconstitute a program you wish to believe had been shut down for good.

re:Maybe it depends on if you have money......wasn't that what the UN sanctions were all about......to restrict Saddam's access to cash. Funny, they were working too.

Now you're deluding yourself, North Korea doesn't have even a tenth the money Iraq has. Sanctions didn't work as all the money Saddam got he buried in his accounts or hid around town. He sure didn't spend it on medicine for the Iraqi people or food or infrastructure.

re:Yes, that's why you don't mind if your president lies. Screw principle, when your SUV is at risk?

He read a prepared statement that remarked the Brits believe something. I don't drive an SUV. And yes, "it's the economy stupid".

re:The media isn't a business consultant.

They'd have to be objective first. American media is always more concerned with making news than reporting it.

re:We're going to take the charges in trade......oil!



So the $5 billion figure may be a bit high?

Ted, apparently the Dems are not taking Clinton's advice to back off:

Meanwhile, I heard that Howard Dean is buying the theory that "It's all about Hillary in 2008." At least he's not buying the notion that Clinton is being magnanimous.

The question remains.....how effective is a centrifuge buried in someone's backyard?

How long does it take to dig it up?
