Have you ANY reports that I had that material at an earlier date?
Have you any reports that I pruchased it?
Have you any inspector's reports that I had it a few years ago?

The UN had all of the above on Saddam- Unless you think that item found by the UN Inspection team should be ignored for some reason.

You seem unable to understand that the UNR was asking Saddam to prove he had done what he said that he had.

How is this proving a negative? Unless you claim he did NOT destroy that material?

Or show that the information he gave earlier was false- though I would think the earlier inspection teams might have something to ssay about that. I guess UN Inspection teams mean nothing, either- so what basis do you have for saying that the US response should wait on the results of the declared by Bushbert to be useless UN inspection teams?
