if the current american administration is so diabolical, why not simply plant nuclear or chemical agents in iraq?

I don't really think the Bush administration is diabolic, but I have thought a bit about them planting WMDs in Iraq. It's probably because the international community (France, Germany) would figure out what we were doing. I think it's also possible we found WMD, but they were made in the U.S.A.

And as I've said repeatedly, it was like taking out Hitler in 1936, rather than waiting till September 1939, when he became a real threat.

I think that that is not only absurd, but unfounded.
