92% isn't that kinda low?

when Iraq captured Kuwait in 1991 there were efforts 
made by the Russians and others to get him to depart 
Kuwait. as he would not, a 6 month buildup led 
inevitably to war. likelihood then just before the
bombs started falling was a certainty, 99% plus or
100%

so 92% strikes me as surprisingly low.

as Saddam HAS gotten rid of the nasty stuff, the
argument that the paperwork of disposing it is
missing or incomplete is riduculous. hey this is 
an Arab country with Arab efficiency in keeping
up with the paperwork. with the U-2 doing lowlevel
photo reconnaisance for many hours a day, it will 
soon be demonstrated that there are NO forbidden 
weapons left. so how can Bush go to war? he is 
going to have to finesse this impasse and figure 
out how to get out of this if he has any hope of 
being reelected.
