>>What makes you think that. Because John Kerry says so??

>We knew these weapons were there in early March.
>We didn't know they were missing until May.
>The Pentagon can't tell us if the weapons were moved before the war started, or after US troops got there in early April.

>In other words, the weapons could have been moved after US troops first arrived. Meaning that the facility was not secured. Either there wasn't a plan to secure it, or we didn't have enough troops to secure it.
Charles Hankey
Though a good deal is too strange to be believed, nothing is too strange to have happened.
- Thomas Hardy
Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm-- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves.
-- T. S. Eliot
Democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for lunch.
Liberty is a well-armed sheep contesting the vote.

Pardon him, Theodotus. He is a barbarian, and thinks that the customs of his tribe and island are the laws of nature.
