Still lots of unaccounted WMD material unanswered for.

Not a single weapon found. Not a radioactive sausage.

Both Blix and Ritter had attributed the unaccounted chem/bio material
to accounting error (to please Saddam, production numbers were
exaggerated) and Iraq did destroy it all 10 years ago.

And the beauty is Iraqis have to pay for the damage themselves
(reconstruction cost is comming out of their foo-for-oil program and
sale of their national oil reserve into the pockets of Halliburton and
Chevron).

The only parallel I can see is what the colonialists did to China 200
years ago - beat them up, then graft their wealth via war restitution.

Ritter is an acknowledged liar. His credibility is zero.

The "food for oil" program is dead and buried

Iraqi oil is NOT being used to "pay" for anything related to the war
and/or US and UK presence in the country. Nor is any of it going to
any US company.

Get a clue.
