You missed the point of the message. I am not arguing whether there was or wasn't WMD. I am simply stating a fact. I see it all the time. People being confused about lack of evidence and if something occurred. It is arrogant to believe that there is always adequate evidence to be found. A proclamation of finding none or little evidence of something is not a definitive expression that it did not occur. In considering your argument about WMD I think positive proclamation by Saddam was adequate. He made others believe. This has simply become a political argument and being so many simply ignore the obvious. As your noted paste contains the "seen no evidence" of this or that, it falls into the nondefinitive group. How in the world with all the operatives in Iraq could anyone be so arrogant to believe they know what each did or didn't do? It simply has yet been determined. I don't think very much of that commission as they did shuffle Able Danger under the carpet.

Excellent post Mr. Murdock The non-partisan 9/11 commission, discussing meetings between Al Qaeda and some Iraqi officials said, and I quote, "But to date we have seen no evidence that these or the earlier contacts ever developed into a collaborative operational relationship. Nor have we seen evidence indicating that Iraq cooperated with al Qaeda in developing or carrying out any attacks against the United States." If you are going to say: "We removed an ally of Al Qaida" Then you need proof that it's true, or you lied. A meeting is not proof of an alliance worthy of an invasion. Orca
