Saddam has no abilities to construct WMDs and had no plans to reinstate those WMDs.

Duelfer even noted why Saddam avidly promoted WMD myths. From Isikoff & Corn:

Quote:

Duelfer personally concluded that Saddam has been engaged in an impossible double game: trying to persuade the West that he had no WMDs while maintaining enough ambiguity that his historical foe, Iran, couldn't be certain that it was true."

How do we know this is true? 1) It contradicts UG. 2) It exposes more lies from George Jr.

"Duelfer personally concluded that Saddam has been engaged in an impossible double game: trying to persuade the West that he had no WMDs while maintaining enough ambiguity that his historical foe, Iran, couldn't be certain that it was true."

Yea, he gambled. I guess it didn't pay off for him.

Which is a lot more sensible than tw's take on this.

And equipment buried in government scientists' back yards -- see Saddam's Bombmaker -- says "plans" to me. Tw seems unable to acknowledge that dictators behave badly at least six days of any given seven. I'm a little more realistic than he.

Tw's really the biggest anti-anti-American we've got, because of his eternal embarrassing of the anti-American cause.

Now if only he were more fun about it, that we might perceive the satire.
