Well, gee, Larry- am I arrogant today? Seems like you should settle on just one insult for me and then try to make it stick- you might have more luck that way. I think its sooo cute that you insult anyone who dares disagree with you. I am reminded of our last significant exchange, right here, right after I joined this community- when you started slinging mud at me without knowing a thing about me.

But more to the point: your argument is like saying: "How do you know that the government is not hiding UFO's? Hmmm? They could have clasified intelligence reports saying there are UFOs! Why not? Arrogance maybe?" Your response to such an argument would be: Prove it! This is my response to you as well!

The fact is, if WMD had been found In Iraq- or Al-Qaeda terrorist collaborators, Bush would be laying out the evidence as fast as he could. Blair would too- as he is about a millimeter away from being recalled.

The fact is we claimed to know not only THAT there were WMD, but WHERE THEY WERE. Rumsfeld himself said "Around Tikriti".

If there were WMD in Iraq- show them to me. Find them. Put them on display. THEN I'll gladly eat as much humble pie as you can bake.

Larry: It is the ultimate arrogance to persist in shouting down others as speaking falsely, insult them, when you yourself have not a single shred (or drop of Iraqi WMD) to back you up.
