TK, Grandpa,

I'm a skeptic. I was assured by Colin Powell, a man I respect far, far more than our President, that Iraq had WMD with imminent intent to use them against the U.S. Now, over one year after invading Iraq, we finally find one relic, or dilapidated piece of nerve gas ordinance. This is not very convincing. Based on Powell's performance to the U.N., I expected the U.S. military to find significant and substantial stockpiles within days or weeks of our takeover. Or, horribly, have the Iraqi military use those weapons on our invading forces.

Considering the pep talk about WMD the administration gave to gain support for this invasion, this particular piece of ordinance amounts to piss-poor evidence. Therefore, I agree that we now have piss-poor evidence that Iraq still possesses WMD, but we've a long way to go to validate the "imminent threat" claim.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
