He didn't use them in the Gulf War, and he definately had them then.
Doesn't that rather undercut the position that "he would definately have used them if he had them?" I mean, if the guy doesn't use WMD's on us even when he has them and we're right at his doorstep, how much of a threat to us could he have been?

If he had used them we wouldn't be having this discussion. Using the WMD on the US, or any of his neighbors, would simply have solidified everybody against us.
I think you meant "against him", but I agree.
It's the same logic for N. Korea.
Yes, it is the same logic for N. Korea.
Which you'll notice, we haven't invaded.

Yet.
And even then I'm pretty sure Iran is a higher priority and I do believe Syria is working to get on our bad side.
Uh-huh. Pardon me if I'm openly dirisive of the chances of that.

Re: Update Evidence tying UBL/Al Qeada to Saddam/Iraq
You didn't see that bit at the end? "Limited evidentiary value"?
How do we know these aren't government forgeries?

Re: Update Evidence tying UBL/Al Qeada to Saddam/Iraq
ABC would know about forged documents wouldn't they? I would think they have learned their lesson by now.
You're talking about Rathergate, where the documents were never proven to be forgeries by anybody, and persons close to the alleged writer of the documents confirmed that they were in his style and contained views they had heard him state at the time?
In other words, you're talking about a story that was aired on CBS? I don't know what ABC knows about forged documents. The timing is nonetheless suspicious. Funny how these only come out after public support for the administration and its actions is at an all-time low.
