“Assad is estimated to have more than 1,000 tons of chemical weapons.”

 Hmmmm… 1K tons? Certainly this is not the WMDs that were not in Iraq after we had successfully (and easily) defeated Sadam.  Oh no! That’s not possible.  Assad had been making them all along and NOBODY noticed… not even this Israelis!

This is what happens when one takes a simplistic approach to complex international issues. (all of you liberals should Google “simplistic”… it’s your forte… and while you are at it… Google “forte.”)

Remember when you wrestled with algebra in high school? Suddenly, the ol’ marm threw in a “quadratic” equation.  She added another variable.  Then there were TWO! In the politics and reality southwest Asia the NUMBER of variables is unknown.

Suppose (just put down your glass of pinot noir) that Sadam Hussein had sold… not a 1000 tons… not a hundred tons… not even one ton… maybe just a few gallons of this nefarious compound to al Qeada?

OH! Oh yes there were NO weapons of mass destruction in Iraq.

(PLEASE, if you do not understand the concept of “decision matrix”… DO NOT jump in here and show your…)
