3. For a gun to be smoking...

...it must have been fired.

I've never accepted the notion that finding WMD in Iraq would amount to finding a "smoking gun". It's a gun, period.

We know he had this gun during the first Gulf war, and that he didn't fire it. He was accused of possessing this gun in the 12 years since, yet he didn't fire it or give it to someone else to fire.

We sold him the gun and we encouraged its use against Iranians in the 80's. When he used it against his own people in 1988 we did nothing.

The only real gunsmoke here came from our "shock and awe" invasion, and the lies that made it possible.
