Lurker, you may be a real fine musician but what you don't know about intelligence gathering could fill the Congressional Library. I rather suspect that if it was high noon in July in Texas and Bush said the sun was shining, you'd want irrefutable proof from someone other than him.
As regards WMD's, the ones found by the Inspectors after the Gulf War have never been accounted for although MMario said last night that he heard that the Mustard Gas had been located. Just what do people like you require as proof?
Even Tom Dascle (sp?) said in Nov.2002 that we KNEW that Saddam had Chemical and Biological weapons and that we were sure that he was trying to go nuclear. You don't have to take my word for it. Go read the speech for yourself. It was made during the debate in Congress over the War Resolution. Daschle voted FOR the resolution.
The Inspectors just found a bunch of missiles, imported by Iraq in direct defiance of the NU resolution that brought about the Gulf War cease-fire. They have too great a range (over 150 k. is illegal) and the diameter is too great. They have chemical and biological delivery capability.
Saddam has been ordered to destroy them as per agreement or be in material breach of the UN resolution.
Will he? We shall see.
To go back to intelligence for just a moment, very often you get information from someone who doesn't want to leave his/her country and their information is ongoing, sometimes for years. Or you have a situation where you could get them out, but not their family members. It is not an unknown technique to hold a few members of a family hostage because one or more of the family are working on secret projects.
If you'll put aside your hatred of George Bush for a few moments, you'll realize that revealing the source of the information which he has, while it would surely make his job here at home easier, would just as surely condemn an unknown number of people to a very unpleasant death.
Please think about it.
