You are aware that the one BIG source the Americans had was an informant who later changed his tune and said he had just told the Americans what they wanted to hear so he would get what he wanted out of the deal? Its funny that we expect the media to get confirmation on a story, but the government isn't smart enough to do so when it is the evidence that is going to lead to war and the loss of countless lives. Logic was completely lost in this situation and has turned out to be one of the biggest political/strategic ###### ups in memory.

HUH???
ONE big source? How about the FACT he had used them in offensive invasions in the past, as well as spraying Iraqi citizens with them AFTER the war in 1991?
Fer chrissakes Lanny...the ENTIRE UN security council...all 15 countries at the time ALL agreed the Iraq's had WMD...wtf do you think the 17 resolutions were all about anyhow?
Russia admitted it, China admitted it, France Germany....all agreed that the had a HUGE biological weapons program. They only disagreed with an invasion to oust the regime....based on the imminent threat claim by Bush. THAT was the one big screwup on his part....stupid claim.
Logic is a word you should really stop using in your argument....unless logic equates to Hussein becoming a stellar citizen of the world after 30 years of oppression, aggression and invasions.
All because he felt like it and did so without telling anyone.
