Huh? That's a scientific fact you say? But wait, it's not even remotely
related to salient point John Clark was making is it? No, you snipped that
part right outta there didn't you - the part about Iraq being CAUGHT RED
HANDED lying on multiple occasions and in direct violation of the original
GW1 CONDITIONS OF CEASE-FIRE.
There's an old saying that goes something like:
"Cheat me once, shame on you. Cheat me twice shame on me."
To that I would add - Cheat me three times, and perhaps I don't really
deserve the title of SUPERPOWER.
>There are so many unanswered questions: Is there really VX (or other B/C
weapons)? Where? How much?

Really Kai, there are not. Your moronic questions bring to mind a
hypothetical scenario in which the tactical SWAT teams are swooping in on
the home of a serial killer - Jeffrey Dahmer say, and some fuckwad is
marching up and down the sidewalk yelling WAIT!! BUT BUT, THERE ARE SO MANY
UNANSWERED QUESTIONS HERE:
Like what did the murdered victims actually TASTE like?
And how do we know poor Jeff is going to do it again? - maybe he's all full
now.
What's the real reason he felt a need to do this?
And you SWAT guys surely don't think you're personally at risk of getting
eaten up by Jeffery do you?
And can't we just set up a perimeter around his yard so he can't sneak out
and do it again?
And let's just think about this for awhile, what's a few more months anyhow?
And, in other words: Do you have any proof for your claims?

Even if that were true, and it obviously isn't, what's all this "significant
amounts" nonsense? What part of NONE do you not understand. IRAQ has legally
revoked its pre-GW1 right, by signing the cease fire to possess or conceal
ANY restricted weapons whatsoever. That means NONE, NADA, ZIPPO, ZILCH, NOT
ONE DROP, NOT AT ALL, IN NO WAY - PERIOD. Allied and Iraqi military leaders
meet on the battlefield to discuss terms for a formal cease-fire to end the
Gulf War. Iraq agreed to abide by all of the UN resolutions (Mar. 3, 1991).
The first Allied prisoners of war are released (Mar. 4). Official cease-fire
accepted and signed (April 6).
