First of all, unlike you and I, there are people who know quite a bit about
chemical and biological weapons. Quite a few of those people stated clearly
that some of the weapons had definite "shelf lives", and that the weapons
used against the Iraqi people in the distant past would've been far from
useful by 2001-2002.

Second, you may have to allow for the possibility that Saddam had a more
personal motive, if he destroyed the weapons secretly: Making a fool look
like an even bigger fool (GWB, in other words). Saddam is not a stupid man.
He knew full well that he could skirt the economic sanctions easily. He
didn't need to put on a show to impress the U.N.

Doug,

Don't you agree that the WMD Iraq had used in the past had probably been
shipped somewhere else? Certainly you do not believe Iraq destroyed them
secretly? If they wanted to destroy them, they would have done that
publicly so the UN would have removed the economic boycott against Iraq.

Bush is a dummy, but even he would not believe that.

When you say Rowe and GWB lied to the world concerning WMD, remember if
that is true, every politician in the US lied to world since 1990.

That may well be true. However, as you know by now, highly competent
inspectors found zip. This included people who did not have pansy-ass
foreign accents or work for that sissy organization, the U.N.
