That's a pretty disingenuous post-hoc justification. It was claimed that Iraq possessed proper stockpiles of illegal munitions and had hidden development programmes, not that there were old gas shells buried where they fell 10-20 years ago, much like you can still find on any WW1 battlefield.

They aren't dud rounds were shot off during a war and now that litter a battlefield, they are unused munitions stockpiles that were supposed to have been destroyed.

I think it's pretty disingenuous of you to imply otherwise....

Who would you put in Bush's place? John Kerry? He spent most of the 1990s criticizing Bill Clinton for NOT going after Saddam, because, as he (Kerry) put it, everybody KNOWS Saddam had WMDs. Kerry only changed his tune when he realized that being a pro-war Democrat candidate wasn't going to cut it.

Bush may have been wrong, but he didn't lie. Or else all the Dems lied, too, until it became cool to oppose the war.

You are implying that these 'stockpiles' were usable, when in reality they have been buried without any protection or maintenance for many years and have degraded to the point that they are no longer a threat.

There is no evidence to suggest they were actually hidden stockpiles destined for later use, and not just lost relics haphazardly strewn around.

Double word. But just remember, some people are too stubborn to learn. Many on the left just hate Mr. Bush so much, they refuse to see the situation for what it is. You just got to let them think that 2+2=9 if that's the way they see it. They just won't be convinced otherwise, despite all the evidence you present to show 2+2 actually equals 4.

No longer a threat?! Really? Would you care to take a sniff of them yourself? Maybe have some with your cheerios? Seriously, speaking of evidence do you have any saying these were just hapazardly strewn around?

Obviously we've been finding them. THAT implys we have information as to their whereabouts. That had to come from somewhere...

I think you're right. I'm beginning to seriously believe that the left would rather see us fail horribly in Iraq just to justify their irrational hatred of the present administration.

But you're sounding off just as bad or even worse than she does.
