I'm sorry, but what point were you trying to make with this link?   I missed that part.  

Back when I was dumb, and used to support the Iraq War (didn't want to let go of my beliefs, kinda like you, but then the cognitive dissonance overwhelmed me), I used to try to grasp every last straw that I could.  One of them was abandoned chemical weapons leftover from the Iran-Iraq War in the 80's.  Degraded sarin shells were the "proof" of WMD that I needed to justify my support for the war.

But then I had to think about it logically for a moment.  If Bush got on television and said "We must invade Iraq, because somewhere in the desert, there are some abandoned, degraded sarin shells leftover from a previous war that Saddam probably doesn't even know about as the site was quickly evacuated and forgotten about in the chaos of war.  These shells pose no threat whatsoever to any country."  Do you think that would have convinced the American public to invade Iraq?
