Hi KLP; Re: " I believe you will be found wrong....you, and those who think there is nothing, and has been nothing, there. We may see before that you are wrong, but I really feel sure that when all the millions of papers that Saddam's regime are transcribed, we will know where the ones that he did have have gone."

and

"If you are sure, what makes you so convinced? We didn't locate the Titanic for how many years after it sank????

Now I understand why it is that so many people believe that Iraq had WMDs in 2003. Let's use neocon logic to analyze the question of whether or not the Titanic is resting on the bottom of the Atlantic:

(a) There are no photos showing the Titanic sinking. On the other hand, there are plenty of photos showing that the ship did, in fact, float.

(b) Even the French and German newspapers reported that the Titanic was unsinkable.

(c) We know that sea captains generally don't sink their ships, therefore it is highly unlikely that Captain Smith sank his.

(d) The White Star Liner company worked hard for years on building the Titanic, why would they sink it without a reason.

(e) There is documentary evidence showing that, for example, a whole lot of steel was used in the construction of the Titanic, but there is almost no evidence that this steel was ever destroyed.

(f) While there are a small number of witnesses who claim that they saw the Titanic sink, it is also true that they were on board the boat. So they're undoubtedly lying in order to protect themselves from being punished for whatever they did with the Titanic.

(g) If they were going to sink the Titanic, there was no reason for them to do it so secretively. Why not sink it at 3PM in New York harbor so the world would know for sure?

KLP -- my little cocoon? LOL -- you wrap yourself in your fantasies about WMDs that will be found in Iraq after the most intensive and expensive and deadly search in history concluded that there was nothing -- and you say I live in a cocoon? You dream and believe and refuse to accept the facts. I am interested in facts. The fact is no wmds were found in Iraq and there is no reason to believe there is anything to be found. Dream on brother.
