Well, I'm sure the lying liars and their enablers and sycophantic followers will retort that we can't prove that Iraq DOESN'T have WMD and bioweapons and such. And that's true - we CAN'T prove Iraq doesn't. And we don't have. They have to prove that Iraq DOES have nukes and pukes. Especially since Cheney and Rumsfeld and others swore up and down that not only did Saddam have the stuff, we knew exactly WHERE he had it and all we had to do was conquer the country and we would easily find the stuff since they knew where he was hiding it. Why can't they admit they were wrong, they didn't know, and that maybe that means Saddam didn't have it? It's a far cry from wanting it, trying to get it, hoping to get it, planning to get it, dreaming of getting it, and actually having enough of it to constitute such a clear and pressing danger that we had to invade RIGHT NOW to keep him from using it.
