Oh, and it wasn't 'traces'. If used to its maximum efficiency, we've found enough Sarin to kill over 600,000 people. That number's also in Neal's Nuze, but again, I don't care enough to go find it; have fun hunting on a Libertarian site
.
600,000 people. That's not enough? What is, a million? Two? Ten? Pick your number . . . At first, it was a matter of not having anything at all and calling Bush a liar. Now, it's a matter of saying that, while we found
some, it's just not enough . . . and still calling him a liar, this time with even less to stand on. I'm sorry, but, as a liter of sarin has the ability to kill tens of thousands of people, and as it has been shown that these Muslim terrorists are willing to hunt down Americans to kill them, what's to stop them from sneaking a two-liter canister of sarin into the US and opening it up inside a city building's ventilation system or a shopping mall? This is one thing that we're effectively slowing, if not stopping altogether.
I wonder what the argument is going to be later on, should we find any more . . .
