Subject: RE: BS: Why I support disarming Iraq
Why sure Bobert, I could tell one of your posts with my eyes closed. Or my glasses off...I dunno, something like that.

I believe George W and his advisers knew about Saddam's weapons of mass destruction before he ever mentioned regime change. I believe they could show us the proof if they wanted to, they're just not ready yet. Their concerns may not just stem from human intelligence sources. I think we have technology our leaders aren't ready to expose yet. And I don't blame them.

I kinda liked old Jimmy Carter, but he let the Iranians tweak his nose for long old while. I thought it was irresponsible of him to try to boost his macho ratings by announcing the existence of our Stealth Bombers. At the time, I'd rather not have known, so as to keep our enemies from knowing for while longer.

I have more primitive technology available to me, which I rarely get to use, that I'd rather my investigative targets didn't know about. If I can keep from it, I'm not going to let them know how I nailed them until I absolutely have to. So if I got a GPS tracker on somebody's car, I may delay using or exposing that evidence to the suspect, if there's any way I can avoid it.

Now how many of you poor paranoid buggers are out there looking under your car with a flashlight?
