"Since we already knew about it and allowed Saddam to keep it without any accusation of his violating 687 (including Bush himself), your point is rather blunted."

1. The fact tah we knew about it was not the same as allowing his posession: The UN was derilict in failing to insist on the destruction of prohibited material.




"When Bush tried to say Saddam violated 687, he was referring to the incredible pack of lies in his SOTU address in 2003:"

Pray tell me what of the list you gave have ever been proven to be wrong? IN ALL CASES Saddam failed to show credible evidence that the prohibited items had been destroyed.



"You know if they'd found any type of missile cache ready to go, Bush would have been vindicated. "

Fine. I will acknowledge that YOU have declared Bush to be vindicated by the discovery of those prohibited missiles and weapons systems.
