So, we're in agreement...Iraq was never an imminent threat and the peaceniks were correct on that point. Why are you creating an argument on something we're in agreement on? You appear to be the one ignoring the questions. From a guy who doesn't know the difference between UNSCOM and UNMOVIC... Geez... Lord have mercy.. Whether I do or don't understand the difference between UNSCOM and UNMOVIC has no bearing on whether you ignored the questions. Here were the questions. Did you or did you not respond to them? If the US was 100% certain that there were WMD in Iraq, why didn't they accept Sadam's offer to let in US Intelligence into Iraq to show them where they were? Why didn't the US allow the UN inspectors to complete the effort with Iraq in attempting to assess how many weapons may have been destroyed? We claimed we had proof that Iraq had WMD before we initiated an invasion; where is it? Why wasn't the US able to determine that the Niger documents were forgeries? If Iraq had 6,000 weapons and an active biological and chemical weapons programs that the US claimed they did, why was Kuwait told that they didn't need gas masks for it's population? If the US is convinced that there are WMD out there somewhere in Iraq, why are we reducing the forces available to find them? If the US is convinced that there are WMD out there in Iraq, why do they refuse to let the UN inspectors back in to help out? jttmab
