Saddam Used Chemical Weapons on His Own People!

Or did he?

I mean, here's the thing. This doesn't prove Saddam didn't use chemical weapons against the Kurds, and even if he used them to target Iranian troups and not civilians, chemical weapons are still terrible and should never be used (though try telling that to Donald Rumsfeld). But the point is, isn't it disconcerting that everything the Administration has been saying in order to get us to back his plan to attack Iraq turns out to be an unfounded lie? Isn't this what happend 40 years ago with Viet Nam. [And more on that tomorrow, maybe]
