You better start praying real hard that there wasn't any WMD in Iraq, because if there were, we're in deep doo-doo. Why? After all, the peaceniks say he didn't have any connections with terrorism, and he was never an imminent threat to the US.. Do you really think he'd let those WMDs fall into the hands of unknown parties?.. wink, wink, nudge, nudge.. Personally, I think some, or all, of these 6,000 unaccounted for weapons went to Syria, just as the Iraqi air force went to Iran during Desert Storm in 1991.. Btw, those weapons were supposed to have been destroyed in 1991-2, and many were. But the Iraqi declared that 19,000 had already been expended during the Iran-Iraq war at that time. But in 1998, UNSCOM inspectors discovered a document in a surprise inspection that stated only 13,000 weapons had been expended against Iran.. That leaves 6,000 weapons unaccounted for. Now if they could account for 13,000 weapons used during that war, it begs the question why they would not account for those other 6,000 warheads that they had declared. Finally, Iraq has been discovered to be a weapons stockpile extraordinaire. That country possesses at least 1 million stores of conventional ordnance (40% of the total US inventory, some claim). Only 10% of it has been searched through by David Kay and his Survey Group looking for WMDs. So once again, I say there is no proof either way as to the CURRENT existence of these weapons. Thus, since we have been told they once existed, we much logically deduce that they exist today. Hawk
