Ok, then. Help me out. I see no way around the base assumption that Kay’s testimony is credible.

I see that as having to be a given.

If it’s not, we’re into the realm of pure speculation.

I believe that accurately summarizes all the conclusions that can be drawn from the report regarding the alleged existence of Iraq’s WMD program.

**The containment policy was completely effective at what exactly? Making Saddam rich and his people poor? If Saddam didn’t build WMD’s it certainly wasn’t because he lacked the ability. The sanctions didn’t prevent him from having the wealth and power he needed to pursue such things.
Samctions were punitive, and were never intended to stop production of “WMD.” check it out http://ods-dds-ny.un.org/doc/RESOLUTION/GEN/NR0/575/11/IMG/NR057511.pdf?OpenElement

So much for a non-partisan examination of the facts, eh Scylla? **

Let he is is whithout partisanship cast the first…(metaphor peters out).

Sorry, I put some words in Debaser’s mouth there. The middle paragraph is mine.
