Not really, since Saddam had used Sarin and Mustard Gas against the Iranians and Kurds, both WMD's. He'd had a nuclear program and could've kept materials from that. People are too quick to dismiss scenarios because nothing is found and don't think about other possibilities. Did he bury them? Who knows, but theres a high chance he did.

FEOS isn't going to sprout any fresh intelligence info he has access to across a gaming forum just to prove a point either, think about it.

Oh, wait. You don't have any of that. You're making a comparison from an uninformed position but expecting people to accept it as incontrovertible.
Doesn't really matter that I have direct experience or not, neither do you.
Actually, I do. Hence the argument.

And since you don't and I do, it does really matter...unless you're going to throw out your "I've read some books" argument again.

If you make logical leaps based on something you know little about, based on briefing docs which may or may not be accurate (and US intel is remarkably poor these days) you're free to do so. I'm just pointing out some alternative views and providing other information you're apparently lacking.
Are you mirror-imaging now?

I'm not the one making logical leaps based on something I know little about. I work daily with intel sources and methods. I spent quite a bit of the past five-six years working on counter-IED issues. You've done neither...yet you feel imminently qualified to argue the issue with someone who has.

Some of the stuff FEOS comes out with, supposedly on the basis of up to the minute intel and crack analysis, is just plain wrong.

Doesn't necessarily make you an expert in how to make them, or the available manufacturing technology.

I guess you mean eminently. I do have experience making odd things, down to sub-micron accuracy.

Certainly more of an expert than you.

And I have experience with machine code. That doesn't make me qualified to comment on computer engineering I don't have first, second, or even third-hand experience with.

And you can take your English Nazi bullshit and...nevermind. It was early in the AM and my Monster hadn't kicked in yet.

That's not a source. That's a made-up comment from you.

Not the same thing.

But I guess since you read that thread once, it makes you qualified to make that comment, eh?

Doesn't really matter whether or not you doubt it.

I'm pretty sure you doubt whether anyone is more of an expert on any given topic than you. Doesn't make it not true.
