Yes, I've seen him making the rounds of the talk shows, and frankly
he was not terribly persuasive. If you make a claim that such a large
movement of cargo was able to be made completely undetected while we
were constantly surveying Iraq via satellite and arial means, you
better be able to prove it.

Of course. And found some evidence that these were actually giant
lollipop factories. That doesn't mean I'm right; I need to actually
produce the proof.

I don't think there's enough beer to make me act in a way that you
might deem reasonable! ;-)

He was; we know that since we were the ones who originally set him
up and sold him the material and equipment. But I also know that
since the first Gulf War, Iraq suffered a great deal under UN
sanctions, and while Saddam may have dreamt of doing those things, it
would have been nearly impossible for him to carry out such plans,
given the situation. I also know that while we're out to make Saddam
into the bogeyman, many other countries were doing exactly the same
thing we're accusing Saddam of wanting to do.
