A funny exchange which illustrates an ideologue's need to harangue then run away from a bad argument via an irrelevant tangent, so typical of the political debate on SI nowadays.

Read my post again. If all these frontline troops had these supposed wmd's, and as fast as the resistance collapsed, and now with an organized resistance, and with us crawling all over the place, one has yet to be used or discovered? The fact that one wasn't accidentally left behind in the haste to flee, none have been used by the current resistance, and none have been found. We are not talking about a supposed secret weapons program. These were supposedly issued to frontline troops. You really think they all hid them that well? Not one of these guys was killed with one in his arsenal? I don't care if the country is the size of California or Rhode Island. It doesn't add up.

??????? What does one have to do with the other? To draw comparisons between the unibomber or Gary Cooper is beyond ridiculous. You'd look better off admitting you don't have a rebuttal than coming up with that garbage.

XCR, you are 100% correct, if they had 'em, them would have used 'em by now....
