Nerd,

The point Gareth was making was perfectly clear, while some countries do possess these weapons, their individual track record strongly indicates that they would not employ or misuse use them. Gareth in his post listed Iraq and Saddam Hussein's behaviour with regard to those weapons. In any evaluation of potential threat, that track record becomes highly significant.

I don't believe that Saddam Hussein has ever been considered as a "CIA Asset".

Sorry about the lack of feeling, but in reading through our posts, not surprisingly, I would tend to say that mine are constructed rationally and logically - in this sort of exercise emotion doesn't come into it.

By the bye, if you do want to know who should accept full responsibility for the war, it is bloody obvious - SADDAM HUSSEIN.
