In a speech in New York, Mr Rumsfeld [US Defense Secretary] said he did not know why Iraqi troops had not used chemical weapons against coalition forces.
He suggested the Iraqis might have been caught off guard by the speed of the US-led advance on Baghdad.
"It is also possible that they [the Iraqis] decided that they would destroy them [weapons of mass destruction] prior to a conflict," he said.
Mr Rumsfeld said: "We don't know what happened [to Iraq's banned weapons]. We may actually find out what happened."
Atila, "um ateu optimista" - porque não acredita em deus, mas espera estar errado -, quer fazer uma página de ideias e debates rápidos, ricos em colesterol e gorduras saturadas; pois a unanimidade só se obtêm na base do medo, do interesse, ou da alienação activa de quem discorda.
