Time For Another Edition of Chris Snitchens, Saddam's Toady

Fred Kaplan on David Kay's findings:

"Iraq's weapons and facilities, he says, had been destroyed in three phases: by allied bombardment in the 1991 Gulf War; by U.N. inspectors in the half-decade after that war; and by President Clinton's 1998 bombing campaign. (Clinton's airstrikes, by now widely forgotten, were even at the time widely dismissed as a political diversion; they took place during the weekend when the House of Representatives voted for impeachment. But according to Kay, they destroyed Iraq's remaining infrastructure for building chemical weapons.) Kay adds that Saddam tried to resuscitate some of these programs, but -- due to sanctions, fear of inspections, and lack of resources -- he was not able to do so." (Emphasis added.)

Why does Chris "My Aspirins" Snitchens hate America?
