"Saddam hid behind dual use for a long time." >>> Correct. It was the Reagan/Bush administration which signed an executive order over-turning the ban on dual-use sales to Iraq, which resulted in many of these dual-use items being sold to him anyway. "He wasn't making nerve agents, he was making bug spray and he wasn't trying to produce nuclear weapons, he was looking for a cure for cancer. Come on now...." >>> I never said that. In fact, many nerve agents have as chemical precursors common pesticides.... >>> But Tom's article that I was responding to specifically mentioned that the mere existence of pesticides in Iraq 'confirmed' all the WMD charges... I simply pointed out that if that was so, then every nation on Earth has 'WMDs'.
