One quick point on my way out - If I was unclear, I'm sorry - I actually do think we will find chem stocks, and possibly even nuke precursor material - maybe in Iraq, more likely right over the border in Syria - but I won't be terribly surprised if we don't (I'll be surprised, but not terribly - close point, I know), and a complete lack of success once we have covered a substantial portion of the available hiding spots (we ain't even close, yet) will be enough to prove the negative to me. But, like I said, if we don't, it will be a surprise to me, as everything I know about SH, Iraq, the ME, and life in general strongly supports my belief that he had them, or was working on them right before we got there.
And, from what you say, I guess the new argument really IS "but you said it would be easy!" Lordy. (What other conclusion can I draw from your repeated suggestions that Bush et al kept trying to gloss over the cost of fixing a country? I mean, how stupid of an argument would that be to support? Who would ever believe such a thing? Are you saying that YOU believed that to be the case pre-invasion, or even post-invasion? Bush convinced you, or convinced someone?)
