Really?
Think back to December 2002. You may recall a deadline by which we
demanded that Saddam Hussein account for the disposition of all the
WMD's that we knew he, at one time or another, had in Iraq. Iraq met
that deadline, delivering something like 17 volumes of printed material
and some extensive computer files to the United Nations. A matter of
hours later, George Bush was already dismissing the 17 volumes as "all
lies".
I think your memory is wrong. I think the problem was one of substance. There
were 17 volumes of nothing. Who indicated there *was* something worthwhile
there?
