I am confused now! I thought i was asking that it be proved that he had them, and if he didn't to find out why we thought he did. In fact i thought the coalition were asking Saddam to prove he didn't have them.

Your very own LCol Tim Collins, 1st Battalion, Royal Irish Regiment believed the same intelligence as did I. He and I took the very same oath for the Queen's Commission to which we are trusted to perform our duties to the best of our abilities.
I find it very difficult to believe that two Queen's Officers are that stupid in coming to the same conclusion based upon two different set of evidences.

I have the utmost respect for both of you. And for anyone in uniform.
My point isn't that you, say, are stupid because you misinterpreted the evidence, my point is that the evidence presented to you was flawed. I am sure you made an intellgient assessment of it. If i tell you it is raining, i am sure you would bring an umbrella. If it isn't raining that itsn't your fault!
