The Lack of Logic and Proof on Iraq

On Counterpunch, Tom Gorman picks apart the non sequiturs from Bush's speech to the United Nations.

Meanwhile, in a ZNet Sustainer Commentary, Scott Burchill argues that, even if it can be proven that Iraq has chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, it is quite unlikely that Iraq would use them, unless, of course, it is attacked by the US. Burchill goes on to conclude, "The 'proof' that the War Party produces will need to be much more substantive and convincing than the largely circumstantial Al Qaeda dossier which the Blair Government released to the House of Commons last year to justify an attack on Afghanistan. Otherwise, by planning acts of aggression against a member state of the United Nations, the West will have again broken international law."
