Others may be amused by the end of this
Washington Post article from last week about a private lunch involving Condi Rice and her Russian counterpart. The Russian tweaked Rice by pretending to take seriously the proposition that Hussein had WMD:
- The two continued to squabble when Lavrov threw out a new concept -- that the new Iraqi government had to answer questions about former president Saddam Hussein's alleged weapons of mass destruction because last week Republican lawmakers in the United States had said there was evidence of chemical munitions.
"I think it's serious," he said. "While we want to support this government, we also believe that this government has something to do to finalize the leftovers of the past, which is basically nonproliferation concerns."
This line of conversation riled Rice, but once again other ministers suggested a compromise that mentioned the idea without endorsing it.
Serious conservatives do not pretend that there were WMD in Iraq when they are behind closed doors.
