Sarin Part 4

Hi there,

I am coming to the conclusion that the alleged discovery of Sarin in Iraq is most likely a 'dud' as noted by former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter speculates in the linked article from the referenced post.

Do I think Ritter has an 'axe to grind?' Sure.

But in comparison with all of the far-less-qualified-to-comment people on the right, Ritter's expertise in this area is likely greater than all of them combined.

Hence the Administration's restrained response to what should have been a huge sigh of relief. Instead Rummy's response was less than sanguine. Read the referenced Op-Ed piece in the last link. It's so full of excited hyperbole, it leaves a dedicated skeptic chuckling(at least this dedicated skeptic).

Brother. If you're not skeptical of ALL Bush Administration claims, you're not following along. Of course you could be experiencing a protracted case of cognitive dissonance. Three and a half years and counting.

Still awaiting confirmation and forensic details.

Love, Todd
