Come on now he doesn't need evidence absence of evidence works just fine because see that isn't "evidence of absence" although I guess it is evidence of absence in that post- of logic, and facts, and simple things like that... Dreaded 3rd party message this is not- this is addressed to you too dear Brumar. And just because it wasn't posted to you, is not absence of evidence that this post was not to you, because ... well you know the rest

Sure here's Clarke from the January 23, 1999 Washington Post: Clarke did provide new information in defense of Clinton's decision to fire Tomahawk cruise missiles at the El Shifa pharmaceutical plant in Khartoum, Sudan, in retaliation for bin Laden's role in the Aug. 7 embassy bombings. While U.S. intelligence officials disclosed shortly after the missile attack that they had obtained a soil sample from the El Shifa site that contained a precursor of VX nerve gas, Clarke said that the U.S. government is "sure" that Iraqi nerve gas experts actually produced a powdered VX-like substance at the plant that, when mixed with bleach and water, would have become fully active VX nerve gas. Clarke said U.S. intelligence does not know how much of the substance was produced at El Shifa or what happened to it. But he said that intelligence exists linking bin Laden to El Shifa's current and past operators, the Iraqi nerve gas experts and the National Islamic Front in Sudan.
