Oh, man, you look pretty stupid today. I just love your list 'some things we know for certain', full of things we never knew for certain, now demonstrably wrong. I wonder why you haven't posted anything since April - perhaps you should post some corrections!Do I, Bob?
Here's the list of 'some things we know for certain.' Which of these are demonstrably wrong, Bob?
Points two and three are correct -- you can't even argue those facts. As for points one, four and five: Hussein had hidden weapons capabilities that were not disclosed to inspectors. That would include the nuclear centrifuge parts in the scientist's back yard, all the thousands of pages of documents on weapons programs we uncovered, the strains of biological agents, the sarin bomb and even the prohibited conventional weapons we discovered, among other things. As far as his ties to terrorism, they are plentyful, even though the 9/11 commission found these ties not to be "formal."
Bob, here is a raw summary of why these three points still stand. Incidentally, I drafted that summary in August, which by the way comes after April. And there are posts before and after it, as well, in the archives.
Now, seeing as how everything here is linked and referenced, I see no need for "corrections" of my own. If you have information that is relevant to this topic and contradicts anything you see here, by all means pass it along, but the odds are that I've already linked it.
And, in case you're wondering, Bob, there's a difference between evidence of "ongoing WMD programs" and WMD stockpiles.
Thanks for playing, try again.
