Frankly, I consider reading most of your posts a waste of time, just as I would if I bothered to listen to James Carvelle. Over the past few weeks, I've been out of town for over 10 days and didn't bother to check the Internet at all. It was refreshing. There have also been plenty of days when I never looked at this website due to schedule pressures at work. When you spend over 10 hours staring at CRTs in an architecture lab, the last thing you feel like doing is surfing the Net.

Back to the question, I'm willing to wait until investigators like Kay make their report. We were told pre-war that we should "give the inspectors a chance." Maybe that should apply to post-war as well.

So, what happens if Kay and the investigators turn up no current WMD? In that case, there will need to be a close check of both the UN inspection efforts through the 1990s and the US intelligence agencies. The intel agencies have missed plenty of big things before, such as the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. They're human, they make mistakes, and they have agendas like everyone else. If those UN inspectors were reporting WMD programs in 1998, then we need to find out how they were wrong, too.

But seeing large objects like MiG-25s Foxbat and Su-25 jets being hidden for months without being discovered, one does have to admit the possibility that much smaller objects can also be hidden. That is, unless one is so predisposed to reject any evidence, no matter how blatant, that disagrees with his viewpoint.
