Sorry. I thought the subject was Talabani's letter.
My next best guess at the subject for this thread is the headline stating that Saddam was a WMD. This is (in my opinion) too silly a rhetorical device to have a conversation about.
Anyway, you are right that I did not try hard to figure out what the thread's subject was and conform to it. What I did instead, was react to the only piece of info in the link that I found interesting.
I will resist the urge to expand on my prior post to keep from irritating you further, or showing further disrespect to Tom, if he really did mean something else by his post.
