Since Saddam has used them several times in the past, only a totally
braindead Liberal could claim they didn't exist. Question is Where are they
now, not do they exist. If they were destroyed, why couldn't, or wouldn't,
Saddam provide proof of it? Keep posting Lloyd, everytime you do it serves

Why not? Lloyd lies, and he's Liberal, plus Clinton is his hero. If lying
