When a freeper says Bush disarmed Iraq
tell them that, according to David Kay, Iraq disarmed during the mid-90's.

U.S. weapons inspectors in Iraq found new evidence that Saddam Hussein's regime quietly destroyed some stockpiles of biological and chemical weapons in the mid-1990s, former chief inspector David Kay said yesterday.
--
In 1995, however, Hussein's son-in-law Hussein Kamal, who directed the illegal weapons programs, defected. At about that time, the scientists said they tried unsuccessfully to convince U.N. inspectors that they had destroyed their weapons and agents. They tried to "come clean, but we wouldn't believe them," Kay said.

Kay said the Iraqi scientists did not have complete records to back up their claims because the destruction had taken place under pressure to keep it secret from U.N. inspectors.

Which means Bush should publicly credit Bill Clinton and the UN for containing the Iraqi "threat", and relieving Saddam Hussein of WMD - thus making the world a safer place.

Well, shouldn't he?
