Yes...you're confused...
...so much so you decided to change the subject.
The point of the article you ignored was the fact that the sanctions were doing their job of containing Saddam and that going to war was completely unnecessary. The point of the article was to affirm precisely what I stated here on this BBS a year and a half ago that Iraq posed no threat to the U.S. or its neighbors. Only now its Republicans and Democrats in Congress agreeing with me.
Now I truly don't beleive that fact was lost on you. But those facts so potently undermine the Bush administration's case for war, your rhetorical strategy is to change the subject.
