For a nano-nuancer (or is that a nanu-nanu nuancer?), Kerry failed the nuance test.
I think he mistook the question as "whether he would have supported the war knowing what we knew then" as opposed to "whether he would have supported the war knowing what we know now."
By the way, it's my humble opinion that the WMD were hidden and/or transferred during the run up to the war. If Saddam had time to bury fighter jets ( http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/f/foxbat.htm ) , what's a few thousand liters of anthrax and sarin?
In addition, when I was over in Saudi Arabia several years after Gulf War I supporting research into birth defects (common in Arabia due to intermarriage, see http://middleeastinfo.org/article2580.html ), I was informed of chemical warfare-related problems occuring in the provinces bordering Iraq by high-level medical officials. (I was also informed about how crazy Saddam was by a taxi driver as we passed what I was told was a bombed-out elementary school in Riyadh that was being preserved as a reminder of Saddam's unhingedness).

According to an article written by Tom Cooper on the Air Combat Information Group website on 9/25/2003, between 30 and 40 Iraqi jets were found hidden in the sand in July, 2003.
They were located at the al-Taqaddum air base about 250km west of Baghdad.
The planes were a part of the Iraqi air force, ordered from Russia in 1977 and delivered in 1980.
NewsMax.com claims to have published the photos first and says the fighters were found by the U.S. military acting on a top from an informant.
Although the MiG-25 is an older Cold War era jet, published reports say this particular plane was an advanced version with technology and capabilities not before seen by Western observers.

What do you call it when someone re-flips on a flip-flop? Is that now a flip-flop-Flip or does it have a special name like flip-flop-flap?
Never knew that was possible until I read this. |
