The USA should not go to war on hypotheticals. That's exactly why Bush lied and lied and lied and is still lying about the imminent threat. =========washingtonpost.com "...Charles A. Duelfer, the top U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq, found no plans and no existing capability to restart these programs, and he said in his report released Wednesday that divining Hussein's intention "is like having the picture box cover of a jigsaw puzzle to guide the assembly of the component puzzle pieces.... Hussein's top goal was to defend Iraq against Iran...." Are you saying that the US would allow Saddam to do whatever he wanted? Are you saying that Iran would? That Israel would? So it comes out...you have zero faith in the USA. ================= This is the tragedy, the real one of death, dying and destroyed lives, misspent savings and destruction of the USA's reputation and power in the world: "...One of the tragic ironies of the decision to invade Iraq is that the Iraqi WMD declaration required by security council resolution 1441, submitted by Iraq in December 2002, and summarily rejected by Bush and Blair as repackaged falsehoods, now stands as the most accurate compilation of data yet assembled regarding Iraq's WMD programmes (more so than even Duelfer's ISG report, which contains much unsubstantiated speculation). Saddam Hussein has yet to be contradicted on a single point of substantive fact. Iraq had disarmed; no one wanted to accept that conclusion. Charles Duelfer has to date provided no documentation to back up his assertion regarding Saddam's "intent". Nor has he produced any confession from Saddam Hussein or any senior Iraqi official regarding the same. What has been offered is a compilation of hearsay and conjecture linked to unnamed sources whose identities remain shrouded in secrecy.... guardian.co.uk
