This thing with liberals and GWB is like a cult, except instead of irrationally worshipping and agreeing with the leader, they irrationally hate and oppose ANYTHING he says or does.
Gas prices are a good example.. If they go up, it's "Why isn't Bush doing anything about oil prices? He doesn't care about the people, he only cares about lining the pockets of his rich corporate fat-cat Big Oil cronies!"
If they go down.. "Bush is letting oil prices go down as a re-election ploy so soccer moms can keep driving their huge fuel-sucking SUVs! He's raping the environment and we'll NEVER have alternative fuels at this rate!"
Anyway, back to the thread.. The UN stated that Saddam was not to have any chemical weapons. Saddam has chemical weapons. "Saddam cannot have chemical weapons" means "Saddam cannot have chemical weapons". Not "Well he can have some chemical weapons, as long as he doesn't have too many, or they're too new, or anything along those lines." This is not some weird far-out subjective thing that's open to interpretation. It's a clearly stated resolution, not an abstract painting.
Argue about whether or not you think we should have went to war with Iraq over WMDs if you want, but whether or not he violated the resolution by having them is no longer debatable.
