Parisian: You are American, non? Mitt Romney: Oui! A missionary from the Mormon church! Parisian: You are young. You are not fighting in your war? Mitt Romney: Non, alas... I actually long to be in Vietnam, representing our country there. In some ways, it's frustrating! Parisian: Your war is criminal. Mitt Romney: You're telling me! I'm on my second deferment!

Actually, even the UN itself had to admit that Saddam had WMDs.[]http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/headlines/2007/08/nerve-gas-scare/[]In the 1990s, the UN found samples of phosgene in Iraqi hands. The samples were confiscated and sent to a UN lab in America… where they were promptly “lost” by the staffers, only turning up in 2007 when a janitor found them while helping to box the lab up for relocation. []So for a full decade, anyone who worked in the lab could have been exposed to phosgene. Yeah.[]The fact that the vials didn’t re-appear until well after the whole furor over Iraq died down caused more than a few conspiracy theories back in the day.[]Couple this with the fact that the insurgents used at least one mustard gas shell against our guys, and that says “Saddam did indeed still have something somewhere”.
