Yes, you repeat the same claim that Saddam had WMD and everyone believed it. Everyone believed it, but obviously, he didn't have them. I haven't contradicted that. Hans Blitz said he didn't and proved it before the war was started by Bush. Hans Blix DID NOT say Saddam had no WMD before the war. Didn't happen. What he said was that he hadn't found them, but as I pointed out yesterday, Blix said in his book that it was his "gut instinct" that Saddam DID have WMD and that he believed (before the fact) he would have found them, given more time. David Kaye [sic] he believed when he was doing Bush's work and then denied it when he left Bush.... David Kay, like Blix, believed the WMD existed. Just like Jay Rockefeller, Bill Clinton, Hillary, Diane Feinstein, and everyone else. THAT WAS THE POINT YOU DUMBASS. Everyone, including Blix, including Kay, believed there were WMD. So, for you to claim that Bush somehow misled the country is just bullshit. Cheney and Rummy threatened Blix with a campaign to discredit him if he reported that Saddam had no WMD. Blix has claimed that. I've said his book is a fair account of events. But Blix was never an impartial POLITICAL observer. Scott Ritter, also an inspector for the US was the darling of the RW when he was trashing Clinton but got trashed and worse by the RW when he said Saddam had nothing. Scott Ritter was a minor, unimportant player in this deal, and a sexual predator to boot. Not enough credibility to mention. So my final question to you is this....if Saddam had them as you say, why didn't he use them against us during the war??? WTF are you talking about? I haven't believed Saddam had WMD since, oh, maybe, 2003, like everyone else. Of course, we know he had them at the time of the Gulf War. And we know he attempted briefly to acquire nuclear material shortly prior to the Gulf War when he realized there was going to BE a Gulf War. We know those things. But you're making shit up now.
